CameraAnn Jul 21, 2013 9:02 AM (in response to MD Optofonik)Of considerable interest will be the figures for the number of Cloud Subscribers who continue to subscribe after their initial introductory Upgrade-pricing finishes; and how many of those who have signed-on for a Free Trial decide to purchase a subscription.
My guess is that the increase in revenue reported during the first quarter was almost entirely due to people shoring-up their past investment in Adobe software by purchasing Upgrades to CS6.
I found it interesting that Adobe's CEO decided to divest himself of most of his Adobe shares just a few weeks before he announced the move to the "only by subscription" business model.
None of this is good news for Licencees, Investors and, particularly, for the dedicated Adobe employees and engineers who build this wonderful software for us.

MD Optofonik Jul 22, 2013 9:34 PM (in response to CameraAnn)Considering the aforementioned divesture and Adobe's previous poor performance I wonder if this wasn't all just a way to inflate earnings for a brief period so that a few could make a quick profit before everything finally goes south.
