Fucking Fucking Fucking Adobe CS3

Posted Friday, May 18th, 2007 at 4:09 pm by Richard in the stuff, design category.

I tried to remain calm and impartial but really …

Not only is the fucking CS3 suite preposterously fucking expensive and fucking massive and takes a fucking eon to install and fails to fucking work if you have demo versions of CS3 apps installed which means you have to install the whole fucking thing from scratch* but it also changes your PDF viewer settings across the entire fucking computer without fucking asking.

For fucks sake.

Now Safari does this when trying to open a PDF …

Force Quit

Let’s get this straight – I don’t want a billion fucking options and another billion fucking addons or fucking godzilla sized fucking applications with millions of fucking confusing extortionate purchasing options with a fucking UI designed by someone who has never seen a fucking computer or actually used the fucking product, I just want a fucking product that works, for a fair fucking price that doesn’t fuck up my computer.

Fucking useless. It’s 2007 you bunch of cunts – it should not be this difficult.

Note: The fucking uninstaller is in the fucking Utilities folder for some extraordinairy reason not that Adobe bother to fucking tell you that it is littering your computer with fucking crap or that you have to use it to rid yourself of the fucking demo – maybe the deveolpers are locked in a room with only catfood or batshit to eat for the duration.

Note: I have actually half penned a carefully thought out reasoned piece about my feelings towards Adobe and CS3 but the PDF thing was the last fucking straw.

Bah!

PS – but it’s all worth it, if only for the new icon set ;-)

I could not agree more! I have spent the last week trying to deploy CS3 over a school network. Adobe took a perfectly good and easy to deploy macromedia product and completely screwed it with there uber shite installer!
I will never buy any adobe products again after one of there Technical support blokes told me ‘sorry we do not support network installs’ -Fuck adobe, they are a bunch of wankers for taking a good piece of software and completely butt-fucking it, thanks for that!
