    Fair pricing for European Software

    Adobe has announced the launch of their new CS3 line of products containing new and improved versions of previous software such as Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, etc (details on www.adobe.com).

    With new products comes new pricing... fair enough. However, prices for the same product (i.e. the mac design premium upgrade from CS2.0) go from 599$ for an upgrade in the US to 1'057$ in Switzerland and 1'134$ in France and Germany, the worse being 1'178 $ for the UK... not fair enough! (all prices excl. tax).

    Prices in Europe have always been a little higher, but 190% is pushing it! There is an interesting comparison at the following address: http://www.amanwithapencil.com/adobe.html that shows the difference in pricing between Apple and Adobe software.

    Once I have gathered enough signatures, I will communicate this petition to Adobe and to the European/Swiss commissions of competition.

    In the meantime, if you can, don't purchase the upgrade, it's the best pressure we can have...

    there was a political manifesto, i forget from whom (perhaps the green party) that if enough signatures were reached on a petition they would hold a referendum on an issue
