Hi Easterangel:
game on demand: I mean PC games, not MMOG(EverQuest, Ultima Online),
processed by "on-demand" technology, with the help of Internet, can be
transfered and play.
software on demand: Ya, you are right.

I think basically there is not much difference between on-demand game
and on-demand office... they are all softwares.(Well, correct me if
I'm wrong)

I follow your lead and see Yahoo's game on demand service(service
provider), powered by Exent(technology provider). Yes, this is the
kind of information I need.

Dear Easterangel:
I followed your information and found only Yahoo applies streaming
technology to offer game on-demand service.
I'm looking for technology provider(ex: Exent) that can support
on-demand service(ex: Yahoo Game on Demand Service) for commercial
software(ex: MS Office, Diablo II...they size hundred/thousand
mega-bytes), hope this will help.
