Hi Uwe, Thanks for posting this info. Now I see it everywhere, and in just a few hours Videoguys.com changed their landing page to promote the new CC. I am very, very unhappy with this decision by Adobe. I have been a loyal Adobe customer for over 15 years. Usually, I would skip a point version and buy the .5 version to avoid bugginess, but I stayed reasonably current. My video business is part-time and I most certainly am not going to get roped into paying US $50 a month for anything (and no $29.99 intro offer, either). I don't want, and can't have, ANY monthly fees for my business. Adobe seems to care only for large firms or "teams" but the only people I collaborate with are me, myself, and I. I have no need for the cloud except as a distribution format. I was a beta tester for Adobe Muse, and liked it well enough, but I never purchased it because it was offered as subscription only. I would have bought it if I could have. I feel that greed is the motivator for this change since not enough was being squeezed out of the customers and Adobe needs to increase its revenue stream. Well it will lose my little bit of revenue because I will not move to a subscription model. I was on CS 5.5 but I just now ordered CS6 from videoguys.com, and like you, Uwe, this could be the end of the line for me with Adobe. There are other products out there and I'm familiar with them, but preferred Adobe. Ironically, for my "regular" job I work for a large software company (and there I use still other Adobe products from the Tech Comm Suite). We are also trying to switch customers to a subscription plan. The difference is that we are giving customers a choice and offering additional resources to the subscription customers. If you want to continue as you have been, paying for the versions you want, you can. How I wish Adobe offered us this choice - I would probably never leave. Boo, Adobe.
