I must wait as well. Not only is there the cost of upgrading every 18 months -- which is of questionable value when not all the new features are needed in my workflow -- but Adobe seems to be taking a page from the Quark playbook and starting down the road of product activation. Software makers need to figure out a way to battle piracy without making us honest customers feel like criminals. I may not be able to win this battle as a consumer, but at least this software update is elective, so I can take a personal stand now.
