Like AS said, mistake or not, Adobe is choosing not to shut things down.  I feel they are going to use the turn of events to introduce people to their products via the old versions same as Daz did with Bryce.  I, myself, would like a spin on Premier with a little more time to learn it before possibly purchasing.  Yeah, yeah, you may say I can download a 30 day demo but honestly 30 days is short if someone has a life beyond sitting at a computer trying to learn an in-depth piece of software.

This will offer me a chance to learn a little at my own pace, perhaps then a demo and lastly a full bore upgrade.   I applaud Adobe for not undoing things if it were a mistake.  It could be a smart business move.
