Here, here! No cloud and no renting of software for me either, that's just begging for trouble when the servers go kablooey on their own -- which eventually they will -- or some S.O.B. decides to take 'em out for "teh LOLz" or whatever. Upgrade to every version? Ha! Only this past year did I finally go from Photoshop Elements to CS2, which works fine on my Windows 7 machine, thank you very much Adobe.

Microsoft Office going cloud only too y'say? Won't bother me as long as I still have my Office 2000 and 2003 discs, which also work just fine. In fact I hated the last version of MSWord so much I got rid of it and went back to Word 2002, which still does everything I want it to do most of the time. That's more than I can say for its latest incarnation. 

In short, clouds are only good if you wanna get rained on. Otherwise they ruin your whole day. ;-)
