The extended version of Photoshop is no more as you get only one version under the creative cloud for now. Even that could change down the road.

The overall sentiment ImaNihilist is VERY VERY negative towards this move based on all the comments I have seen from from the Adobe Messageboard. Also from articles posted on Theverge, Engadget, Gizmodo, CNET, TheNextweb, etc....
That's so weird, because everyone I know is pretty excited to finally move away from this boxed version crap. I really don't see the downside if you are a creative professional. You get the latest version, with all the features, and you no longer have to worry about application parity between computers. As an added bonus it's super easy for freelancers or pretty much anyone to just expense back the monthly cost or write it off at years end.

I suspect those complaining are likely the ones who weren't paying for it anyway. Adobe has always made the bulk of their money selling multi-seats to creative agencies and production shops, and this just makes it infinitely easier.

The vocal minority might be causing a ruckus, but I haven't heard anyone saying, "Damn. It sucks that we no longer have to pay $2,500 a head when we hire a new employee."
