Either way it would appear to be very heavy on an internet connection. Especially if you have a D800! Even if I could afford it that aspect would put me right off. I only have a sub 1 Mb service which takes about 12 hrs to download 3.6Gb files.

Which bit is actually kept in the 'cloud'?

With iCloud the software is kept loaded on the computer and the data is kept in the iCloud. For example, Text Edit, allows you to save to a folder within your computer OR save to the iCloud. If you save to the iCloud then the data can be accessed on any (recent) Mac computer anywhere, by logging into the appropriate Apple account

It's probably like the way we run heavy-duty engineering analysis software where I work - the software and all your personal files (photos) reside on your personal computer. The software asks a license server over the internet if you have a current license to use the software. If you do, it runs just fine. If not, it tells you to pay up if you want to go any further. So, the only data being transferred over the internet is your serial number and a yes/no reply.


That seems very much like I would expect it to work but Adobe still forget that the whole world is not USA with high speed broadband being ubiquitous.

I think cloud computing is fine when we all have 20 MB connectivity, somewhere around 2050.

Well I am supposed to be getting 8Mb by June and 20Mb by Christmas, we will see...

They have laid the fibre so it's just a matter of hooking it up I am told.

But even then downloading large TIFF's from the cloud will not be trivial, it won't be like working on a fast local network with Gigabyte connectivity.

:needsahug:

Have you considered satellite?

Now they have launched the most recent one they are reasonably competitive, they are supposed to be launching another this year I think, that should improve things even more...

Well they are here; there is a community scheme in the Trough of Bowland to install their own. That is only a few miles from here.

Well the Australian Government is installing a 'National Broad Band' network of fibre for everyone. I'm told the speed will be at 1000MB. Apparently the new LTE technology that will be in the newer phones will give about 300Mb so those speeds are not far away for many.

The latest iPad can apparently use 4G speeds, but unfortunately one of the two frequencies they use is the same as domestic TV here and won't be available for use till they switch off the the analogue TV in 2015, then we should see wide use of 4G in Aus.

Rich-

We'll have to call you Capt Kirk, for going where no man has gone before.

I so mistrust Adobe that I assume there are some big gotcha problems with the contract. Hope I'm wrong but the one thing I know is they didn't promote that system for our benefit, but for theirs.

Not trying to rain on your parade - I really hope it works, but I'm glad not to be the one to trial it. Please keep us informed of your issues and / or lack of them. This may well be the future of all software, for all I know :-)

Cheers,

Tom

I think there are better ways of reducing piracy. One of them is to reduce prices and sell in volume with the option of with/without support.
