The ironic thing is, we have only ourselves to blame for companies like Adobe being so far up their own arse.  If folk weren't so dumb as to continually follow the 'industry standard' philosophy in the first place and instead 'shopped' around (sorry Adobe that's shopped as in shopping not Photo*hop) then they wouldn't be big enough to own the brand names they do.

They wouldn't be in the position they are now - simple as that.

Never liked Adobe anyway, way overpriced in my opinion.  I don't think the reason it's overpriced is because of piracy either, rather becuse it's the industry standard.  It's the industry standard because 'we' put it there, and we put it there because we're dumb enough to pay £600 for software that ought to go for around £60.

I think they added that costly little zero for good measure, or rather, industry standard measure!
