It wasn't a little down time. Also they handled it poorly.

I had four staff without access to key systems for our designs. I had to call customers and explain why deadlines were going to be missed.

Made me look unprofessional, especially since there was NO announcement by Adobe. I had to search Twitter to find out what was going on.

You don't have CS5 or 6 running on backup computers in case of CC or general internet outages? Did you explain that to your customers?

No because we work primary in Flash. Flash is not backwards compatible, and we have custom applications developed for flash.

CC is much larger than just Photoshop.

Also internet outages don't usually affect CC.

Yea, unplugging the Internet is a known workaround in fact.
