Adobe Makes Products Harder to Use, More Expensive

Posted by michael on from the extracting-monopoly-rents dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This is a follow-up to an earlier story on slashdot about Adobe releasing their Creative Suite package. It seems that Adobe has decided to go they way of Intuit's TurboTax last year and add activation to their products. Legitimate users are up in arms. For Adobe, they follow the steps of other companies, macromedia, quark (who coincidentally shipped their entire engineering offshore) in the graphics biz. Now since in theory they'll be making more money, I hope at least the price goes down (oops, it did not, looks like the upgrade price even increased)."

    And I have the GIMP too... for when I'm on the good side of my dual boot. I have become proficient at both... just in case one becomes permenantly inaccessible.

    the seaways they use to ship the goods back here to sell. They will drain all the consumer capital from the beast and worry about it later. Of course tech jobs should be developed around the world, but as usual, the way the corporate system is going about it sucks.
