Then there's always the situation that may arise where the company comes
to a point where they say "Stuff this!" and discontinues the service -
or the company goes out of business - or gets bought out and the new
owners decide to discontinue the service.
The Creative Cloud is apparently not really a "cloud" type of deal where
files and the software are stored remotely and accessed and run from the
remote location.
Calling a system where everything is actually stored and used locally
but requires a periodic "phone home" in order to work a "cloud" type of
thing is stretching the term to the point of breaking it.
What would be better is to have it two ways. Pay one big up front bill
to use some or all of the current Creative Suite forever, or pay a
monthly fee and as long as you keep paying that fee you'll always be
able to download and use the latest updates.
That's long been my biggest gripe about Adobe's software. They release
very few updates and bug fixes, always leaving some things un-fixed and
the next "patch" has a big price tag and usually comes with its own
collection of issues.
"The Cloud". It's one of those insipidly stupid sounding terms that was
originally used for local networks as a catch-all placeholder in network
charts. If you were doing a diagram of the local workstations and
servers and didn't need to explicitly digram the rest of the network,
everything not depicted was shown as a lumpy blob labeled "the cloud".
Now that's been puffed up to be anything not stored and run from local
storage attached directly to a single computer.
In regards to Adobe's miss-use of the term, "You keep using that word. I
do not think it means what you think it means."
