Things like this just crack me up…

These thoughts are spawned by the announcement today of of an ‘extended’ version of Photoshop CS3. I’ve never seen the reasoning behind having two versions of a product like this. Take Flash 8 vs. Flash 8 Professional for example- the difference in feature set between the two versions is huge! I [perhaps wrongly] assume that anyone shelling out that much cash for a product would always pay the extra hundred dollars for the more comprehensive version. I cannot help but see the situation as a ‘full’ version of the product vs. a ‘light’ version no matter what it is actually called. Maybe I’m way off here and perhaps the ‘basic’, ’standard’, and ‘light’ product versions are actually in high demand? From my perspective- it just seems to create more confusion than anything… I admit I may be totally wrong/biased in this line of thought!
