Premiere Pro CC it is then?

[Dustin Parsons] “If Adobe was to have waited a year on this when a lot more people have tried it, they could be the evangelist that Creative Cloud needs to convince every else it’s a good thing.”
Wow.
Two years ago this would have been totally at home (nearly word for word) as:
“If Apple was to have waited a year on this when a lot more people have tried it, they could be the evengelist that Apple needs to convince everyone else it’s a good thing.”
What goes around comes around, huh?

[Jeremy Garchow] “Perhaps. The flip side is that the most pirated software in the world might be able to be legally purchased by more users than ever?”
Absolutely. I have no doubt it will lead to more legal purchases because the cost of entry is so low.
At the same time, I also guarantee the authentication check will be cracked within a week of release. The people who want to pirate will continue to pirate. DRM doesn’t work. It only penalizes honest users.

General concerns:
1. Too many different products want to move to subscription. Once you add all of these up, it really becomes a relatively large monthly nut for small users.
2. Many small companies buy per-project, because the cost of the job pays for the software or hardware needed.
3. The advantage of CC is that your software is current. OTOH, this can outrun the capabilities of your hardware. When that happens – should you choose not to upgrade your gear – you no longer have the advantage of the latest, greatest software. Many users only upgrade on alternate versions.

And what’s the rationale in excluding Lightroom from the upheaval?

[Jeremy Garchow] “It’s available in the AppStore?”
They could pull that, I guess.
Another couple of interesting thoughts.
1. Adobe apps are written as web services, I believe. In theory the app could be redesigned as only a software front end for a cloud-based application. That’s the basis of Anywhere. Down the road, might the “end game” be true SAS for Adobe?
2. Does the structure of CC get them past all the goofy SOX restrictions? Since there’s never a “new, upcoming” product as an item for sale.

[Bill Davis] ” judged by the emphasis in today’s announcements, it’s fair to think that maybe Adobe sees itself as mostly a “picture and printing” company” that sorta also cares about video. Sure it’s an important part of their business, but it’s doesn’t exactly appear to be seen inside Adobe HQ as equal in importance to Photoshop or even their Digital Type Foundry stuff “
This has always been the case with Adobe, until the past two years. PPro was always the little brother to Photoshop, AE, Illustrator. And now with the chance to break PPro into the forefront, they piss all over themselves. No matter the eventual success of this move, it is a marketing blunder, confirming everything I learned in my 15 years of doing industrials, which is that most large corporations are headed by boobs that I wouldn’t trust to wash my car.

I am also thinking along these lines.
It might also be more favorable for local trade laws, I’d imagine.
Adobe is a global company, much more so than Apple was at first.

This is one reason I think they didn’t have a prolonged co-existence of perpetual licenses and CC. Presumably it would lock them into the annual update cycle they are trying to get away from or risk headache-inducing versioning issues between CC users and perpetual license users.
