Adobe Intends To Move All of Its Applications Online

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the online-photoshop-is-like-magic dept.

E1ven writes "Adobe has announced their intention to transition their entire suite of software to web-based applications This includes their popular offerings Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects. '[Adobe Chief Executive Bruce] Chizen answered a question about whether a complete shift to Web delivery would take five or 10 years and he indicated it would be closer to a decade. Like many traditional software makers including Microsoft Corp., Adobe must fend off rivals delivering competing applications over the Web and it also needs to adopt a new business model after years of selling software in boxes. Chizen expects professional customers of products like Acrobat document-sharing or Photoshop for editing images would opt to pay for subscriptions versus facing a steady stream of advertising to use tools critical to their jobs.'"

    It looks like we have gone full circle. Now apps will be served out from mega-computers to end users systems.

    Some 80 year olds are going to have to come out of retirement to make this thing work.
