Adobe kills Creative Suite, moves software entirely to cloud - San Jose Mercury News

Pretty bold

"Adobe Systems said Monday that it will not release new versions of its Creative Suite software package. Instead, the maker of Photoshop, Illustrator and Acrobat, is shifting focus to Creative Cloud, which makes its software available through a monthly subscription that starts at $50 for an individual if they sign up for at least a year.
Adobe's move is part an industry trend toward selling software as a subscription service rather than as a one-time sale item. Microsoft, for example, makes the new version of Office available as an online subscription. The company, however, still gives consumers and businesses the option of purchasing Office as packaged software."
