« Yet more Adobe Fuckuppery | Main | Not that they'll ever explain »
Just discovered that the only way to run the Adobe updater for CS3 is to be logged in as an administrator.
No, it won't do the smart thing and say "HEY! You need to authenticate as an administrator first!"
Nope. It won't run if double-clicked, and the "Check for updates" options in the various applications is grayed out.
Just checked CS4...same thing. Well, at least it's consistent stupidity.
Once again, Adobe shows that they don't have the slightest fucking clue when it comes to enterprise issues on the Mac. But then again, there's a big chunk of Adobe that doesn't think the Mac is used for anything but makin' pretty pitchers.
<Note: this may be the case on Windows too, but I'm not about to install CS3 and/or CS4 on Windows just to see if Adobe's stupid is cross-platform.>
The Adobe stupid burns ever brighter.
