No CS7 - Photoshop, inDesign, Illustrator no longer updated

[Mr Happy]

The current version of Adobe Creative suite which includes products like inDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator etc is CS6 which most are familiar with. Today Adobe was expected to announce CS7 but instead they announced they won't release a CS7 and instead they are switching to a cloud subscription version only where smaller updates arrive more frequently instead of a yearly update like what you get with mobile apps which they started a couple of months back.

This is going to work out way more expensive if like me you don't update every year. It will also make it harder to have a warez version as it's all cloud based. Generally I'm all for the cloud and can see this will make sense but when you only use something once a week, a subscription works out very expensive.

Thats ain't cool

It is, they are fucking up their model, and this is opportunity for others to take over the piece of that market, that Adobe was having.

Damn that's the saddest news one could ever hear. How on earth can they do this. Unfair, completely unfair.

Cloud is not completely accessible to everyone, specially people who have very less access to internet or have poor internet connection.
This is the worst decision one can take to bring down a successful company to dust.

I see Adobe has had consulting from Rapidshare.

The poor isn't who they're aiming for, they're aiming for those big shot mags editors, those photographers from getty images and the web designers that use iMacs and have too much money too spend.

Stupid that Adobe is doing this, but they will make a shit load more of money that's for sure

@Djlatino well said.

poor people who don't have a good internet connection are not going to buy it anyway.

Clever move by Adobe. They're going to lose customers but will end up raking in more money from corporates and users who are dependant on their suite. Plus, more frequent updates will make it harder for pirates to keep an up-to-date copy.

Looks like i shall be using CS6 for a LONG time!
