Software + Services explained

My pal Hugh drew this a couple of weeks back at the first Blue Monster coffee morning and the original now sits proudly on my desk at home. I've been meaning to publish for a while but couldn't track down a decent scanner.

What I love about the cartoon is Hugh's ability to make the complex simple - a rare talent. Software doesn't quite fit on it for me as the other 3 are derived from software *but* it does have a nice symmetry. Then when you read left to right and then up/down I think it works well.

When Hugh handed it to me he said

"you have to pick where you wanna be"....

I said Microsoft wants to be right there in the middle. The user gets to pick where they wanna be. 
I wonder if I can get Ray Ozzie to use this :)
