Apple and Adobe Software: Together

[David Lawrence]

[Robin S. Kurz] “And if you think it’s somehow a matter of “being able to afford”… oh well.”

Yep, I guess some people are fine with letting a multinational corporation control access to their native project files because for them it’s all about business. They forget this is not true for everyone who uses creative software tools.

Fortunately for us all the free market gives us options

Not with monopolies like AE.

That’s true, is there much discussion about it on the AE COW? I would have thought it would have been a huge issue over there.

I don’t use it much, Motion’s enough for me

[Jim Wiseman]

Same for me. Motion does me fine. $49.95. Once. And AE Cow is not titled as a “Debate” forum.

Well….I could ‘afford’ to pay an African witch doctor $50 a month
to shake a bone rattle over my head to drive out the evil
spirits that hinder my business too….but I think I’ll pass.

How is AE a monopoly? It’ the most popular application in its tiny little niche… but so is Mocha. It’s not like Adobe bought competing products and then dropped them off the market.

the exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service.

Adobe is not a monopoly – it has plenty of competition

Just as well Adobe isn’t selling a service that has no evidence of working. What I don’t understand is most people are happy with subscription services in many areas like telephony, Internet ISPs etc but baulk on creative software.

When I need to upgrade from CS6 to CC I will do it because I can afford it when I need those tools and that is all that is on offer. At the moment I don’t but when I do I will pay just like I do for so many other services in life. I would dearly like to buy a liftime’s garbage collection but the bloody council insist I pay quarterly subscriptions called rates for such services.
