[QUOTE="Stopspying, post: 871432, member: 69368"] Adobe went over to the subscription model with their Creative Suite, a lot of people I know were happy with CS2 for what they needed it for and stayed with it. Its not secure by any means, Adobe runs Microsoft close for bugs and holes, but used offline its OK, as long as you don't need lots of new bells and whistles. The costs per software as shown in the attachment are huge compared to what is being suggested here as reasonable costs for an OS. Adobe must be getting adequate income from their model or I think they'd have changed it again by now.[ATTACH type="full"]236343[/ATTACH] Sure, comparing an OS with software is not a direct comparison, Creative Cloud (as CS became) and Windows are both widely used though. If Microsoft went over to subscription for Win 10 Home they'd need to get their pricing spot on IMO.
