I?m a TCS user, currently running TCS 3.5. I didn?t do the TCS 4.0 upgrade. The cost of upgrading from v3.5 to v5 is $1200! Count me out.
I recently switched from Captivate to Camtasia because Adobe would have charged me full price to upgrade just that component of the Technical Communications Suite ? as though I weren?t a registered Captivate user at all. Re: Creative Suite ? I, too, have stopped upgrading with CS6 and so have my corporate clients. Not at all interested in the cloud model. I?ve been using Adobe products from the beginning: Photoshop 1, Illustrator 88. Still have those apps and the original slipcases (remember when software came in a nice slipcase ? with a manual no less!). But Adobe now seems contemptuous of its users. It?s all about what works for them, users be damned. Very disappointing. -dr
