I made another reply to bdr concerning the first point, but I do not see how personal vs objective is not relevant. They're creating an illusion that their software is better than (for example) Windows 7 by 4x if looking at the price. That is a pretty hefty thing to claim. (And that is only for one piece of the CS puzzle - not all 15 pieces.)



Have you used Adobe's product? I'd say it's worth many times what Windows 7 is worth.

Not trying to put down the developers, I know a few from both camps. They're all brilliant.


Yes, and their development cycle for the CS products revolve around selling the next copy with features and fixes that should have been release freed or at least way less than $200 per product.

I think the HYPE in this post without any juicy details whatsoever is disheartening to me. I think that an OS that has a kernel that has tons and tons of hardware communication, software interaction, thread processing, APIs, and allows other software like CS to run is a bit more complicated. The price does not reflect that, despite both being great products.
