Wasn't sure about copyright issues so I posted a very small excerpt. I am interested in your reactions to this

 photo xara_zps403e4e84.jpg I have photoshop and Xara extreme. Xara runs rings around Photoshop and the price is super cheap. Does everything Photo does but faster and easier.

In this day and age, corporations, following Enron’s early leadership in this matter, don’t want to own assets, they’d rather rent, like you and I rent beer when we swallow it, so that MSM, which is Adobe’s big customer, using its products to “improve” the pics of Obamugabe and others that you view on websites and in newspapers, will gladly pay rental fees.

Recurring charges was the way it was done in the olden days. But we bundled software with 24/7 support including free upgrades.

I’m in marketing and Adobe is my bread and butter. I view this as a very bad move. Not every company is going to want to pay $600 a year for Creative Suite and as an indvidual I do not want another monthly bill coming to my mailbox. Adobe shot themselves in the foot with this one Nd opened up the door to competitors to profit off their mistake.

Photoshop CC turns software into a monthly rental

Don't know why this is news.
AutoCAD pioneered the concept around 2008. Can't "purchase" a copy any more; or own it; or sell your copy; or use it without paying an annual fee...
