Big reversal on Adobe CS6 upgrade policy that should make everyone happy ...

Except their customers who rushed out to upgrade to CS5 to keep on the upgrade treadmill.

Scary reading in this thread. I'm totally against the idea of working on a cloud, and I'm yet to feel limited by CS5 (or 3, for that matter), so as long as I keep a computer archaic enough to run it, I'm not too fussed about future tech making it obsolete.

It's a shame though, I hate the idea of The Cloud in ever single guise it has. It just seems like one gigantic data mine to me.

I say down with The Cloud! I want all of my programs and data stored on my local machine. If they are to be backed up on a remote server, I want that to be a server I built with my own two hands, that is in a safe location which I control.
