This doesn't look like SaaS to me. It's software rental. I'm sure a lot of customers don't know what the difference is, though, and it probably benefits MS to confuse the two.

This is a huge news when it comes to popularizing SaaS software. They'll create, or at least hugely expand, enterprise SaaS market.
