[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 195321, member: 13090"] It appears to me you're BOTH right... Adobe's CC "solution" is hybridized in that the applications you subscribe to reside on your computer so you don't need an active Internet connection to use them; whereas in true Cloud-Based computing the application itself would be stored on a web-server, *not* your computer. In this latter scenario, if you want access to the application, you must have an active Internet connection *because* the app itself is web-based. What Adobe is doing is having it's subscription-based software "phone home" to the Adobe Mother-ship once in a while to make sure you're paying the rent. If Adobe determines your check has bounced, you get locked out of your software, even though it is stored on your local computer. In what I see as an attempt to soften the blow, Adobe is offering something like 20GB of free online, "Creative Cloud" storage with your paid subscription. Convenient, I suppose, but not such a big freakin' deal when you consider even a free Flickr account offers you 1TB of the same. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
