Every software should come on a Micro-SD card. They now cost the same price as a single DVD-R anyway. Plus, we would easily lost them, requiring us to buy the software again! Err... scratch that out.

Seriously though, it's actually a good idea. The access time and transfer rates of flash media are way better than an optical drive and they're more convinient to store thanks to the smaller footprint. And when you don,t use the software anymore, you can use the drive/card for something else.

This will be irrelevant when Blu-Ray complete replaces the DVD as a software distribution medium, but for now this seems like a great alternative.
