the reasons it takes so long to roll out new software is because it needs to be compatable with every other piece of software, AND every vendor. Across platforms and media. The new Adobe software...

It'll be interesting to see how they roll it out in larger corporations. Heck, we just got CS6 approved! Big users like to make sure things are stable. A cloud-based software suite with...

I went to a party over the weekend - creative directors, ad people, designers, photogrphers, illustrators, you know - us people. Everybody is p.o. and its not due to $, it's about losing control....

All the creative directors, illustrators, designers, and photographers that I work with are discussing how to move away from Photoshop so they can protect their assets WITHOUT having to be tied to...

personally I think Adobe has shot themselves in the foot. All the designers/creative directors/photographers I work with are talking about where they can turn to protect their assets without paying...

Actually, bad iidea. VERY bad.

there's a reason the corporate world waits awhile before rolling out newer versions of software to the users.

Now Adobe will have the biggest pool of beta testers...

or $30 usa a month for the Suite, which most designers would purchase. $360 a year is fine if you are freelance, can write it off and are making money.

But you don't get to skip upgrades anymore....

so who is going to purchase/upgrade to cs6 now? Anybody?

I'm thinking of upgrading from cs5 at home. I currently use cs6 Creative Suite at work/cs5 at home. I haven't seen the NEED to upgrade my...

I don't think there will be a PS7 - it's moving to cloud-based thang. Maybe they will call it 7...

it's called PR

I want a PRODUCT, not a SERVICE.

I'll be shopping around.

I see nothing positive about this move. I'm on Adobe products every day, all day, right now. BUT for my home photo and design work, I doubt I will move from v5 to the cloud until it's absolutely...

I've got two words for Adobe (no, not those two...):

New Coke.

Can anybody say "New Coke"?

Does anybody remember it?

I was freelance for years, but now I'm in the corporate world. Not a huge company (6000+ throughout the world). I will bet money that when the corporate licenses need to be renewed, less than half...

I bet industry people WILL migrate, but I will bet real money that the number of subscriptions they get will be significantly lower than the number of products they previously bought.

I don't want another service that I have to spend time (and $$) updating and resubscribing and etc etc.

I want a PRODUCT that I load and forget. And use every day, 365 days a year. Which I've been...

I think Adobe will see a DRASTIC cut in biz 'subscriptions', which will force them to either go back to 'product' instead of 'service' or, more likely, they will split into 'consumer=product' and...

I've used Photoshop since its inception. I've bought and re-bought versions of it as I saw fit. I use Illustrator and InDesign also, all three on a daily basis.

At work we use v6, at home I use...
