The original poster has conveniently ignored those of us who've said that Adobe's new product announcements are subject to various SEC regulations. My interpretation was the original poster wanted to whine and then wanted something free for nothing.
Yes, Adobe knew there was a new product suite coming out. But they couldn't legally make the announcement until the product was shipping. If you want to talk about ethics (see another thread on STC), what they did was, in fact, ethical and legal. I'm pretty appalled at the Adobe bashing going on here. If you don't like the company, you can put your money where your mouth is, and stop purchasing their products. There are other options. ...sue On 11/14/07, Mike Starr <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Michael... > > Unfortunately, you never addressed the original message... the original > messages was that the sender purchased FM (I believe it was a full > package, > not an upgrade) and then about six or seven weeks later, you folks > announced > TCS.
