[Aindreas Gallagher] “they just stripped all license ownership from nine million people and set about engaging remote DRM licensing for local software”
Yes, that is exactly what they have done. Will they get away with it? Probably. But I hope not.

Get your documentation and support in order. It is a disaster.

[TImothy Auld] “What’s the rational there, Ace?”
I would say it’s because you engaged me for nothing specific to any point. It was, actually, quite childish.

that’s the thing – typekit functions best for café newsletters.
If adobe really wanted to outright justify the creative cloud they would do something in the line Jeff Bezos would do – spend a ton of money and transformatively alter a market for the betterment of their subscribers.
some kind of per use type payments mediated by adobe, selected full top tier type foundries fonts available at massive scale agreed discounts – whatever they can come up with and pay for – interstate say as marquee offering. as landlords they need to start buying furniture.
whatever they can come up with that says that the subscriber situation has fundamentally new benefits – as opposed to flakey remote DRM on software previously owned. And can we forget all the endless Kuler tablet drawing on glass malarky. that has real, do I know anyone mad for it, credibility limits. It seems like a cheap easy iOS app thing for them to make a PR push out of. It smacks of no effort.
they need something that would say that they are serious about the balance of the landlord role. They need to install some serious tenant furnishings for this rental money. not offer meaningless 20GB and a sharing service that can’t even preview video. I could care less about their stupid tablet drawing apps they’ve been working on apparently for so many years.
Adobe need to outlay some serious cash – the press they would receive for globally bettering the designers position on accessible premiere typography would alone be worth something.

Ironically, I really like the Kuler application and its integration into more applications like After Effects. If you’re doing motion graphics work, the Kuler app makes picking harmonious colors a real snap.
As to your other points, they are all good. Easy to say, sadly a bit harder to do continuously in reality. We do really try! On a completely personal note, I think the recent directions we’re taking with things like Lightroom Mobile and Photoshop and the hardware are actually good efforts. Add value, make syncing a non-issue and gives you photos on your device automatically…Adobe Voice is also a great app that is leaning more towards video that solves a very basic presentation problem for non-technical users. Anyway, my two cents…
