I'm glad some things have c= leared up a little. What I'm wondering is, what's the big difference between= what adobe is already doing as "subscription" versus Calling this new licen= sing "cloud". Because aside from being able to use a few mobile app th= ings and little online services which I'll probably never even look into, a m= onthly payment to use the software sounds the same as subscription to me.&nb= sp;

Guess we'll have to see.

Thanks for chiming in, Todd.
