I have no desire to rent any software. It's a trap I don't want to get into.

Get it into your head, Adobe--I will not buy into rental schemes that make my software arbitrarily stop working. I don't even care if it's $.01/month. If you ever want any more of my money, offer a proper, non-rental version.

I wonder if the customer response to CC has been more underwhelming than Adobe lets on. Adobe was quite arrogant initially.

Translation: This whole concept is starting to bomb and we'll do whatever we can to make it seem viable.

Quit trying to appeal to the house-wife demographic and get back to working for professionals.

Translation: I payed for CS3 just once and it makes me money till this day without any recurring fees.

That's simple logic.

This. I'm not renting software. Will not. Absolutely not.
