Adobe Marketing Blunders

Comment by paulw9 on October 9, 2003

I've talked to a number of people and the general consensus is that Adobe's upgrade policies with the Video Collection, and now with the CS Suite, send a message to existing customers that Adobe is more interested in bringing new users on board than they are in rewarding existing customers for years of loyalty (and upgrade dollars).

Pricing is Poor for Existing Customers

Comment by paulw9 on October 7, 2003

You say that pricing makes upgrading to a suite a no-brainer, but if you already have all of the applications included with CS Standard, you'll pay $549 to upgrade to the suite, or $507 to upgrade the applications individually. Of course you won't get Version Cue, but that hardly matters if you don't need it.
