[Jules bowman] “you assume left right and centre mate”
But when something’s an assumption I state that it’s an assumption. I don’t state assumption as fact.
[Jules bowman] “Still, it’s an assumption that hold far more weight than Apple never charging for any future versions of FC.”
Can you point to a single case where Apple has charged for a version change in the App Store?
There’s no weight of history behind it.
I’d expect they’ll charge another $29 for Mountain Lion but that’s an extremely low price for an OS update and I started with “I’d expect . . .” so it’s clear that it’s my expectation and not a fact. -
No no, I believe in God I do believe in God my doubts, my doubts, they aren’t doubts they are the Devil challenging me making me try and falter and stop believing in the Lord all mighty but I do believe in Him I do… despite all the empirical evidence to the contrary.

[Jules bowman] “And my outlay is still only £450 ( or less) a year. It is £50 a month at most. That’s a tank of petrol. 3 bits of vinyl. A couple of meals out for 2. And it is tax deductible. But more than all that it gives an extensive range of top quality software that is more than anyone can need or use.”
Exactly it’s a fantastic idea, even at our usually inflated UK price it’s still a no-brainer. Just ordered mine

wait – that’s how it works out? 900 quid vs 1800 over the equivalent period?
I’m literally getting ready to do the upgrade hopscotch to 5.5 production premium before may 7th, but if this holds true, then I’m better going sub right?
there’s some app authoring stuff in there outside the production suite that I could conceivably be interested in too?Also, to be fair: lightroom I have been meaning to settle into for years.
In theory, I’m actually supposed to have a photography degree.https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos

check the specific amounts but I believe we’ll be paying around £45 a month if we pay for a year upfront… it’s around £75 if you do it monthly.
BUT, as CS3+ owners we can have the first year at £27 a month so even better.

I suppose I did know the numbers, I just hadn’t really put the lease versus buy figures together?
also there’s the fact ye mention that the lease includes every last pipe of the adobe kitchen sink.https://vimeo.com/user1590967/videos

[Andrew Kimery] “Is it? Or is it just profitable enough because you have to own a Mac running at least 10.6.8 to use it? After all, Apple is a hardware company at heart. I know there are costs w/making a disc, packaging and shipping but I can’t imagine that aspect of it for a business the size of Apple is all that much.”
The reason the app store model enables lower pricing isn’t so much that it reduces distribution costs, but that it increases volume.

Will the Cloud video apps be updated frequently within the subscription year? What if those Cloud upgrades have bugs and are incompatible with my setup? Would I be forced to use the upgraded versions? I’m usually pretty cautious about upgrades and tend to wait until more courageous types sniff out the bugs. Sometimes I don’t upgrade and stay put.
What level of dsl connectivity is required for a stutter-free Cloud access?
Will there be an educational discount for Creative Cloud? I ask because I work at a university.
Thanks!

“Creative Cloud” is a horribly misleading name for this; Adobe is just jumping on the buzzword bandwagon. Apps you get through Creative Cloud are still downloaded and installed locally. Once they’re installed you actually don’t need Internet access at all (except to check in with the license servers every 30 days). Because apps are still just running on your computer, I’d imagine you’d have the option to not install updates the same way you do now.

Thanks for explaining, Chris. I agree with you that calling this service “Cloud” is confusing if the apps still reside in our computers. Maybe the Adobe Mad Men should have called it “Creative Subscription.”
Regardless, I’m considering either CS6 or Smoke 2013 for my studio workstation. I still use FCP legacy on a 1st gen MacPro and rely heavily on Shake since 99% of my work is composited. One idea is to migrate to CS6 this year and see if Autodesk reduces the price of Smoke even more in a year or two.
But, like many here, I’m waiting to see if Apple releases a new MacPro/iMacPro/MacMiniPro/etc. first before I choose my next NLE.
