Today Adobe announces that it will no longer produce software in the Creative Suite but rather move that functionality to web-based “Creative Cloud” applications. It’s no surprise that this has happened. All major manufacturers of software are moving towards similar models. Most notably is the Apple App Store integration with Mac OS and new versions of Microsoft Office 365.
Our campus community will be challenged by the impact of this change. Will student’s have to maintain their own subscriptions? Will labs have any of the Adobe Creative Suite installed? We are at the mercy of Adobe and the other manufacturers and will have to see how they shape our future.
