Things have really changed in the software business.
Fifteen years ago (back in the days of Win95/98) buying a big, fat, bloated operating systems that was loaded with every add-in they could think of was normal. Office suites from MSFT, Novell, Corel, Lotus, etc. were the way we bought our other apps. All of these products came in BIG boxes with lots of disks and instruction manuals. They also cost many hundreds of dollars.
Today things have changed enormously. Only MSFT is clinging to the mega-office suite as a distro model and it looks like that may be about to go away also. Rumors are that Win8 will have a built-in app store that will change MSFT's sales model.
When was the last time any of us actually bought software other than as an app? The iFruit company started it and now everyone is doing it. Android's app store is huge, B&N and Amazon sell more books through app portals than they do any other way. Once again MSFT is "innovating" the way they always do, following the lead of really innovative companies.

ReplyDeleteAdobe has made it a trend to release a Creative Suite product every 2 years because professionals can really get a lot of mileage with the programs included. For instance, Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 may already be enough for aspiring web developers that wish to make basic sites rather than interactive web apps. However, some professionals don't really upgrade because the new features don't really justify the fairly high upgrade price tag. maxon cinema 4d cost
