May be there's a large number of people that don't fully understand the model, but simply put: It will now cost $20 a month to use your Photoshop CS7 and later software. If you are OK with that, that's fine. If not, well, that's where the discontent comes from. The owrst is some bloggers claim the real discontent is because this is now harder to pirate. What an idiot. BTW, I highly doubt that this cannot be cracked. In fact, I am willing to bet $100,000,000,000 that within a year after production, CS7 will be cracked. (because if someone were to seriously bet against me, I will hire a band of crackers to get that prize :-) ) On Thu, May 9, 2013 at 1:06 AM, Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com>wrote: > For those wanting some facts before the pitchforks and boiling oil come > out! > > http://scottkelby.com/2013/my-take-on-adobes-announcements-yesterday-at-the-max-conference/ > http://www.lightroomqueen.com/2013/05/08/adobes-changes-stop-breath/ > > > *Fun tickets in my pocket, visions in my brain* -- Jimmy Buffett > > Cheers > Geoff > http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman > > > On 9 May 2013 15:21, Nathan Wajsman <photo at frozenlight.eu> wrote: > > > I think this is over the top.
