SaaS, again a misnomer

SaaS, how beautiful the word looks. No?

The full form is Software as a Service.

Didn’t I tell you in an earlier post that software is a machine? Remember?

Right, so then it should read Machine as a Service.

That sounds like the business of selling and servicing cars. No? Machine as a service! ‘Service’ earns more than the machines for the car companies. Recurring. Except that the upkeep of cars does require ‘service’.

Now I can debate that ‘software requires service’ is as true as ‘car requires service’.

Machine as a Service. Hmm… Assuming the idea conveyed by this expression is digestible, what’s the cost of such a service? Answers are unpleasant.
