I can't think of any other software I use where I'm forced to upgrade at
each new release, basically it's subscription by stealth. Plus the cost of
Adobe software in Australia is nearly twice the cost as the US so it's not
a trivial expense like it is in the US, especially if you take into account
any 3rd party software or hardware you have to upgrade to take advantage of
a new release.

Having said that, given I pay a significant premium for my "perpetual"
license because I live outside the US, the subscription pricing if applied
worldwide in US dollars would be quite attractive to me, although given
Adobe's previous form in this area I expect the subscription pricing here
in Australia will be 60-100% more expensive than the US.
