CS6 Rumor: Cloud based purchasing

We will find out everything about CS6 today but here is the latest. There will be a cloud based service so that users can purchase the software at $50 a month instead of buying it forever. This means that you could essentially rent the software. This would actually be great for my students who only need it for a few months:

Adobe Suite 6 rumored to be coming spring or summer 12

According to the rumors, the latest versions of Flash, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and the rest of the Adobe suite will be coming this summer. Here are a few pieces from an interview with the CEO of Adobe:

“Question

And with respect to the CS5 mid-cycle release, is that going to impact the timing of CS6?

Adobe CEO

Well, I think the way you can look at that is the real goals for the mid-cycle release are to continue to enhance the functionality

And then you can expect another release in 2012.

Question

So then just to confirm, you said the next milestone release after the mid-cycle release will be in 2012. Is that correct?

Adobe CEO

That’s correct.”
