Latin plural of 'virus' is 'virus' - it is an irregular noun, not a second declension noun. The English plural of 'virus' is 'viruses' as it is an English word and not the same word as the Latin 'virus' and has a completely different meaning (Latin meaning is 'smelly air').The latest OS gives the most protection from hackers and virii [plural: virus], so get over it and keep your OS current.
Folks need to be AWARE
$10 per month, $120 per year, 40 years totals = $4800Just be AWARE, and make an intelligent decision for YOURSELF!
If you instead put the $10 in a bank and got 5% annualized, with interest compounding monthly (not daily compounding like banks calculate for savings accounts), interest accumulation would have resulted in $10524 increase in account value over the 40 years.
Ergo, your bank account would be $15334 at the end of 40 years (to be clear, by spending the $10 each month rather than putting that into an account offering 5% growth rate, you do not have an accumulation of $15334 in wealth
I am trying to convert no one to MY point of view. I am showing true 'cost', not the apparent one "It's only nnn"
So if there is an alternate way of accomplishing the same results without payment of a monthly subscription, you will be $15k richer in the end.
Sean has the stats about what browsers are being used by those who access Photrio.It is a product that is primarily aimed at professionals using it to earn a living - it is therefor priced accordingly.
And only running on the latest OS is not a surprising move. Technology moves on....I would not be surprised if Adobe have some good stats on what OS's people use their products onand don't see a risk doing this, suggesting most people are using the latest versions....
The $10/month photography plan is currently available as the default choice on the Adobe website.You people do know that they just doubled the price of their "photography" plan. It's no longer $10/month. It's $20/month.

There are some really interesting anachronisms on the list.
Adobe could not produce enough new features with their software to make them compelling enough for people to upgrade. To get around that problem, they stopped selling the software and now people have to rent it.
Ridiculous.
No, I'd be FAR poorer. I make my living using Adobe's software, and I earn a lot more than $15,000 in ten years from it. Its a business expense, and one of the lowest ones I have, for a service I use several hours a day to earn money.
Also, no bank today pays 5% interest. Try 1/2 %; that's more realistic today. Putting money in the bank actually loses money because the rate of inflation is likely higher than the interest they pay you.
The thing is they offer a product at a price. You can buy it or not. Your choice. Everybody wishes everything costs less than it does. Whining about the price doesn't get you anywhere. There are lots of choices. Find one that works for you and move on.You derive INCOME from your expense, and (let me say it again) I do not fault Adobe for trying to underwrite its costs. But as a hobbyist, it is nothing but a pastime that drains my retirement resources. Simply asking for recognition in pricing accordingly, to differentiate the commercial use vs. the hobby use Yes, Adobe can choose to walk away from its amateur market...they leave a lot of folks abandoning them with a bitter taste in their mouth...by not rewarding the loyalty of its very long time customers.
I like my subcription to CC.I just got a new Mac and haven't gone the CC route, yet (I had CS5 and LR5 on my old one). I've been using On1 and kinda like it. I can't do some things as quickly as in CS5, but that's mostly learning curve.
It is a bit annoying that newer software needs newer hardware and vice versa - never ending cycle.

'You can lose your left hand, or you can lose your right hand...WHICH would YOU prefer?' is a choice, too!...just injecting a bit of humor into the exchange of opinions.
that attitude will kill sofware developers an our choicea for the future. I don't work for free;you don't;why should they?Or one could use GIMP and pay nothing.
Technically while gimp is free, they do accept donations for the gimp project as a whole. While you don't have to pay anything , the same argument others have made still stands. If you donate to them, the software (gimp) will continue to be developed and will grow to meet future needs. If you don't, it will always fall behind the technology curve and eventually just stopped being worked on.Or one could use GIMP and pay nothing.
I've always used camera software or freeware, and haven't felt at a disadvantage. When you buy a new camera you pay for the editor. Recent versions have crippled universal access, meaning only the same brand of camera can be used, which is fair enough.that attitude will kill sofware developers an our choicea for the future. I don't work for free;you don't;why should they?
