So there has been alot of hooplah about Adobe going over to the per month business model. While I would rather not be  spending money every month for my adobe products, I do see the benefit in it for adobe. For us proffessionals the monthly is well worth it. For the standard consumer I can see where this would be an issue. Aharon Rabinowitz wrote a really good article about it over on his webstie www.allbetsareoff.com
