Also, since the price now apparently includes ALL the Adobe titles, I can finally dig into Dreamweaver and update that decade old website. Plus, another benefit that doesn’t get mentioned much, is that you can use the PC version AND the Mac versions of each package. Adobe’s current licensing for boxed versions is for one or the other.

I just checked and the $29 price (US) is an introductory price for the first year only, it goes up to $49 after that.
Question, I have a DSL connection and on a GOOD day I can get 170K download speeds and normally 70-120K, any way to get installation discs for someone in my situation instead of spending days to download only to have it interrupted and have to start over? I couldn’t find any info on this at their web site.

[Jules bowman] “Is that price including the current owner discount we’ve all been taking into consideration?”
No. $38 a month for the first year. $63 a month from then on.

Tres Cool!
I haven’t had an official nickname since my post college roommate (a US Marine ex embassy guard) insisted on giving me one. Go figure.

[Jules bowman] “valid argument against that unless all you need is one app over 4 years.”
Bit of accounting:
US Tax law let’s us depreciate software purchases over 5 years. $1800 / 60 months is $30/month. This is deducted against gross revenue.
$50/month is more than that ($3,000).
This calculation by the way has nothing to do with FCPX. This is a simple analysis of whether you should buy the software or rent the software, from a monthly cash flow point of view over 60 months.
From Adobe’s pov, it’s a great business model because more people will come up with the monthly fee than will come up with the purchase price.

[Jules bowman] “Apple’s offer pale into insignificance”
Accountancy is quite stacking up: $299 depreciated over 60 months is $4.98/month.
I’m all in favor of buying the product you want, for the price the market will bear, but that’s a different scenario than trying to justify a business decision solely on the cash.

How do you know Lightroom will (or soon to be) included?
I hadn’t seen that.
Lightroom was one of the few apps that was never in a suite. I thought.
