The law is the same here, but we have a generous Section 179 deduction
that most businesses can use to deduct 100% of all capital expenses each
year. I believe there are also some other temporary "stimulus"
provisions in place that allow other methods of deducting the full 100%.
The subscription model can be a valid one for some-- especially very
large businesses-- but not for small companies, freelancers, or
individual users. Adobe needs to return our choice.

An aspect I haven't seen mentioned in this thread: taxes
According to Israeli tax law, if I purchase a perpetual license for a
software application, it's a capital expense. I have to depreciate the
purchase over several years. I cannot deduct the full expense from this
year's tax return.
If I pay a smaller fee for an annual subscription license, I not only smooth
out the cost, but I can deduct the full amount in the current year.
Is the tax treatment the same in the US and other countries?
