Great!
But... I don't get it.
Adobe has built themselves such a crap reputation over the past few
years. They've become synonymous with the phrase "security
vulnerability" and their inability to fix other bugs and such...
For Adobe to release this old software for free is a Very Good
Thing. A wonderful thing! They should be blithering about this to
the news media, patting themselves on the back. For once, Adobe
does a Good Thing!!!!!! But nooo? They're denying it while doing
it? Why would they do that? What has happened to their corporate
"culture" that would cause this to happen? I just don't get it.
The general consensus around the net is that since Adobe was shutting
down the activation servers for CS2, this was SUPPOSED to be given
out only to current CS2 customers so they could still use their
software.
Once this was out in the wild, Adobe is (theoretically) smart enough
to know that there are no "take backs" on the net. My thought is that
while they might not admit the mistake, they are going to leave it up
and hope for the drug dealer model. The first one is free...
