In my long gone youth one of the most exciting things in the world was an upgrade to Photoshop -- each release brought out a new killer feature that you couldn't even get from a Quantel Paintbox which would have cost you more than you could have imagined.

Now in my old age I feel like I'm being held hostage to ever damn upgrade with few killer features that blow me out of the water. In fact just seeing a headline about an Adobe upgrade makes my blood boil because I know my credit card will be involved. And I've got no choice because you can't really afford to be behind one release if your work with other people.

So if any of you are looking for "that disruptive opportunity" just come up with a CS killer that doesn't feature an extortion business model. I'm frankly shocked that Apple hasn't done this yet, my guess is that it has something to do with patents or perhaps even blackmail material (because I can't think of a good reason why they haven't done it).
