I have said the exact same thing ever since SAAS was conceived, only with less words. ;-) Wait until there is no alternative, then see how competitive they are with pricing!

Very, very few updates came out for Director after Adobe acquired it. They've been slowly strangling it over the years, rather than doing right by their customers and selling it off when they could. I think there are many companies that look to the Adobe model of doing business with envy. Microsoft (to some extent) and Autodesk (all in!) are following the same business model, and seducing customers based on the most transient of selling points, which is pricing model. Once they reach the point in which individual customers no longer have viable alternatives (the pain of 'unsubscribing' is business destroying), they can increase or shift pricing. This is banking on the short sightedness of customers and sadly many have embraced it like a severe diabetic wolfing down a carton of twinkies every day.
