Today, the Adobe MAX conference started with it’s keynote address, introducing the fact that Adobe will no longer be offering the Creative Suite as stand-alone software, but instead will move to Cloud distribution for all it’s products. There will be no CS7, but rather a CC version (Creative Cloud).

CreativePro.com has a good article introducing what was said: http://www.creativepro.com/article/adobe-ends-creative-suite-era-and-embraces-cloud

Keep an eye peeled on this. It seems to be causing quite an uproar!
