Did Adobe just commit suicide?

I am a graphic designer by vocation. Mostly doing branding and logo design. You will see my posts often in the bst section.
I use Adobe products everyday. But, I wonder what type of deal they will give to college students through educational institutions. Colleges with probably force students to sign up for this as a requirement.

Really, peasant?
You have to be an idiot to run an office in the Philippines and pirate Adobe or Microsoft products.

So what are you bitching about then douche? They can continue to "design and slice" using the copies of PS you supposedly already bought them. Why do they need the latest and greatest software?
LoL at calling me a peasant when you're the one moaning about paying for the software you use.
Why don't you just click on the "Student and teacher pricing" link on the Creative Cloud main page? http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.edu.html tldr = It's $19.99 per month.
Because I already don't need half the shit I'm paying for, and when CS6 is taken off the market, I don't want to be wasting time on eBay looking for old copies to cover new employees. $50/mo extra gives me zero added value, and costs me more in the long run.
Fuck Adobe.
So just get one app for $20 a month? Or use alternative software if you hate Adobe so much. Nobody is forcing you to use their products.
The biggest thing I dislike about this model is that although it's $50 a month, you have to make a 1 year commitment, otherwise it's $75 a month.
If you complain about $50/month you should really be working for someone else and not 'running a business'
Creative cloud is the best thing Adobe has done in ages - no longer do we have to drop $1k for some obscure thing (say - after affects) when we're going to use it for 3 hours all year.
50/month/user? Awesome- especially now that they have the team platform where you can manage licenses.

Unfortunately, my designers want two products, Photoshop and Illustrator. GIMP (or other alternatives) don't play well with PSD's. Retraining your staff on other alternatives is annoying business expense, so one upfront outlay is fine.
Then my slicers want some selection of Photoshop, Fireworks, or Dreamweaver. Since there isn't any suitable alternative to open a layered PSD other than Photoshop (or Fireworks), I'm stuck paying for Photoshop, and telling them they need to change up editors because Dreamweaver is expensive crap.
I could live with $20/mo for just Photoshop to keep my slicers happy. The problem is illustrator (vector graphics) put me into an entire other category of unwanted crap I don't need.
On a side note, if they release Photoshop for Linux (or it ran properly under Wine,) I'd happily pay the $50/mo just to get rid of the headaches that come from having staff on Windows/Mac. I already have HR, managers, and PA, all on Linux.
I can agree with this. I only really use Photoshop and Illustrator most of the time, but do put InDesign and Acrobat to use occasionally. There should be more flexible subscription packages with multiseat discounts/options available, like they had with the different levels of the CS packages. Packages like web designer, print publisher, sound and video editing, etc. or pick and choose just what you need.
Before this I was wondering how the fuck these guys make money considering the huge price on Photoshop. When you put a 1000$ price on a software it's not surprising that it becomes the most pirated.
This is going to skyrocket their profits. Companies will benefit a lot and students will get a nice software to work on. No pirates and viruses + the benefit of updates.

It's still $600 a year, that's not exactly cheap. It will be pirated almost as much as it is now.
It probably won't affect their sales to a skyrocketing level, it's more about leveling out their revenue and improving cash flow. Now they don't have to launch new major versions every few years and hope people will upgrade, they can instead switch to incremental updates (to keep subscribers interested) an have a much more predictable revenue model.
Committing suicide would be not fixing Dreamweaver CS6. Oh wait... 
I just tried it again a few days ago, got it all updated, the second word doc I tried to paste into it crashed the entire program. Pisses me off that they can charge so much for such a piece of garbage. Back to CS5.5 I go.

If you asked me, I'd say that trying to paste a Word Doc into Dreamweaver and causing it to crash is expected behavior.

Ditch Dreamweaver and try using a programmer text editor (programmer's notebook, sublime, textmate, emacs, notebook++) and a browser. I have never heard of text editor (non Microsoft) ever crashing. There is almost zero reason to build your sites in Dreamweaver. It's a crutch and a broken one at that.

Stop to use Dreamweaver for web dev
Aptana, Komodo IDE, Sublime Text, NetBeans are all great tools.
