OT: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only

[Shlomo Perets]

Just signed the petition and indicated the following as the reason for
signing:

 

"It is really a matter of letting users choose, rather than aggressively
force this or that option them. 

Clearly, many Adobe users are still using older versions because many newer
versions/upgrades were mediocre, half-baked, not too promising and/or too
expensive. Instead of making an effort to produce inspiring/irresistible
upgrades, they want to force all to constantly pay for the same software."

 

[nothing original. I'm sure that these points and many other valid points
were already made in the different threads in so many forums]

View of the Future, (<http://tidbits.com/e/13765>http://tidbits.com/e/13765)
makes/shares some excellent points. If the Creative Cloud experiment
succeeds, TCS/FrameMaker could be next.

I see from this article that there is a petition on Change.org to try to
persuade Adobe to abandon this sales model. Please go here if you feel
strongly about this issue:
