1953, Dinah Washington "TV is the Thing (This Year)"
Fast foward to the new business model of the 21st Century of Software as a Service and Cloud based computing.
I hate to be the harbinger of bad news but its not just Adobe. It didn't start with Adobe and probably won't end with Adobe. Enter Microsoft, Apple, Salesforce, Google (downloaded Nik Collection recently?), state government and private IT datacenters, Drop-Box, etc. etc.
I work in the IT depart of a large California agency. Not only is our data center moving to a Software as a service (aka Cloud) model -- but we offer similar services to our direct customers for a flat rate fee, i.e. email, application development, hosting, etc.
We've become a captive audience but instead of TV its software and other services.
The 18 month software update cycle, licensing and revenue models have changed.
Fasten yer wallets boys - its gonna be a bumpy ride. They are the Borg -- Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated.
The Cloud is the thing this year, this year
The Cloud is the thing this year
Perpetual licensing was great, now, its out of date
