Reviews of FM 11

[Shmuel Wolfson]

I don't know what the big deal is. For remembering the last five 
searches alone it's worth forking over 400 bucks to Adobe. Don't think 
about the fact that there are numerous free text editors that have had 
that feature for years. Those are simple text editors - not your main 
authoring tool! When your main authoring tool adds one nice feature like 
that it's worth $400. For two nice features, it's worth $600. So don't 
think about the money guys, just shell out the bucks!

On the serious side, our purchasing department would be willing to pay 
for upgrades if I feel they are necessary, and when Adobe was reasonable 
about upgrade prices I did feel it was necessary to upgrade every two 
versions or so. But now that Adobe has increased the price to $600 for 
just two versions back, I might just wait for a few more releases to 
come out and buy a full license. Adobe is really overreaching, and I 
hope they figure that out.
