Adobe went for it.. they seem to be missing that in an economic crisis big businesses aren't going to replace perfectly fine working computers and certaintly not their software.. a lot of companies still use Word 2003 or 2007.. Changing their business model isn't going to help prevent that.. personally at work we are going to stick with Adobe CS6 for the next years.. I'm going to an African country for work for maybe 2 or 3 months but if I had the Adobe Cloud software i would be required to monthly check in with their servers.. which isn't impossible but certaintly not convienent. software as a service in not the way we should go.. |
with cloud computing, it is the only way it will go..... and will help those african countries actually.... because with cloud computing and software as a service it will not rely on high end hardware.... a raspberry pie will be able to run it... the only thing the govs or ONG will have to do is maintain infrastructures.... hardware will finally become more and more accessible.....
but I see your point... there will be a lot of bumps along the road.... but service based software and the cloud is the future for wide spread low cost deployement and access
