° An on-premises application can sometimes
enhance its functions by accessing application-
specific services provided in the cloud.
° Because these services are usable only by this
particular application, they can be thought of as
attached to it.

he desktop application is useful for playing
music and more, while an attached service allows
buying new audio and video content.
