I have the same problem with the logic of the argument saying "this new subscription software model" (which is really what SaaS is) is going to kill "that other old software subscription model".
Really, it's a case of "does one model do the same* as the other for less money?" Sometimes (many times) yes, and sometimes no. And then there's always that big asterisk beside the word "same" in that sentence above. "*but there may be a question of who owns the data at the end of the day" would be the footnote to that one.
