If it's not all local, then their line about being able to use it when 
you're not connected to the Net is a blatant (and actionable) falsehood.

The only thing that can logically be set on a remote is a verification that 
the copy is licensed...? and those things have been crackable since probably 
the second day that the model was released.? 

Personally I have no problem with the new model, and I'm not interested in 
cracking it (even if I could, which I can't).? I won't be buying in, as 
there are already several more than adequate alternatives for me, but it's 
well within Adobe's rights to decide that they don't want people like me (or 
anyone who asks me) as customers.
