     @arstechnica Adobe lost me the moment they paralysed my computer with background processes, to do things I didn't need. My questions, about what was happening, were not answered. I have always been a loyal, paying customer and would have remained one. But there are two things I don't like:

     Wasting resources and being spied on. The latter is unclear. But with my cancellation, it no longer matters.
