Digital BW, The Print

Why does it seem like a personal war path?  It's nothing of the kind. 
Adobe shipped a product that wasn't ready. It's gotten lots of publicity 
in the trade for the release.  If there are problems the RIGHT thing is 
for those to be publicized as well.

1)  In a fairly operating market, consumers and sellers deserve all the 
relevant information.

2)  I've got a reputation for reporting the shortcomings of products 
that promise X and deliver M instead. That's about honesty and fairness.

3) Adobe and other corporations make HUGE investments in PR and 
advertising.  The least buyers deserve is people reporting honestly on 
the products.

There's no honor in being a consumer who runs around ONLY trumpeting the 
positive attributes of every product they buy/use. In fact, doing so is 
inherently deceptive - especially in a capitalist economy where 
information on the real attributes of products is considered by 
economists to be a necessity to proper functioning of the system.

Very good. Then Adobe must be wasting their time issuing a Tech note?
