That's been a little over-worked by now. Hitler's become just like
Mikey, "He hates everything."

So far, the only effect I'm seeing in my own life is I'm now getting
emails from Amazon.com every day trying to sell me Photoshop CS6.

Some people are really upset by this...

If you hadn't heard, Adobe announced a new Photoshop version, "CC",
and announced that henceforth you cannot purchase the former Creative
Suite tools anymore: you must rent them. CC stands for Creative Cloud,
and all the tools (except consumer, like Elements, and Lightroom I
think) will be paid for by monthly or annual subscription.
So if you're a photographer like me, you can have Photoshop alone for
$19.95 a month. If you cancel your subscription -- poof! -- your copy
of Photoshop no longer functions.
The whole subscription pricing model makes sense and contains lots of
benefits for fulltime professionals, but the rug has been pulled out
from under amateurs, part-timers and hobbyists. We tend to buy an
upgrade to Photoshop for $200 or so and then skip a version or two
before doing that again, so Photoshop costs us about $100 a year or
less. Now it will cost $240/year in perpetuity.
This has just got to create a market for a decent "Photographer's
Photoshop Clone" to appear. Something that supports 16-bits, RAW
formats, full layers, and ideally Ps plugin support. Maybe the Gimpers
will step up to the plate?
At this point it appears the best choice would be to own CS6 and hold
onto to it until it's no longer supported by your OS. Hopefully an
alternative will appear by then.
Here's Scott Kelby's FAQ on this change where he puts as positive a
spin as he can on it. But read the comments for the mood of "the
people".
