True, and a very valid consideration when one might be making a buy versus rent decision. On the other hand, there is the ongoing cost of upgrades, once you do buy into the product for the time you continue to use it. If you factor that in every couple of years and the subscription is probably, reasonably competitive. Since some will choose choice A and others choice B, I'm rather happy both choices exist. Now if, --and when--, Adobe decides that subscription is the ONLY option. Then I would be much more pessimistic about their business decisions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:336237 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
