Unfortunately, it's not a rumor. They made a mistake calling the
subscription CC, though. It should have been called FU. To
paraphrase someone else's quote on one of the Adobe forums, "It's
like paying for air. Stop paying and everything stops."<br>
<br>
I've always upgraded my CS every version, even though I couldn't
really justify it financially. I just enjoyed having new features
and new that it was an option. I didn't have to upgrade. I could
keep using my existing version-- even if I had to keep an old
computer and operating system around to make it work. What happens
now? Now if you quit paying, you have to go pay someone else full
price to keep using your existing files with their software.<br>
<br>
Anyway, it's looking like CS6 will be my last version. I don't plan
to subscribe and wish the rest of you would boycott the idea, just
to keep the choice there for those of us who need or want it. I see
Adobe stock is down about 10% since the announcement. I hope it
falls more so that they'll change their minds.<br>
