Is this all really necessary? I tried to upgrade my Adobe Photoshop today. I then went to download the software, wondering why I couldn’t download it right after I paid for it. Instead of a “download now” button, I was presented with this Flash presentation on how to download the software, complete with a boat load of unexplained acronyms, bizarre rules, even more bizarre exceptions to the rules and variations on the rules – none of which helped me download what I paid for.

I just want the software I paid for. Does Adobe really want to force me to learn about their dysfunction to get it?
