Adobe and Microsoft Advance Cloud Apps

It has been a quiet news week following the Worldwide Developers Conference. Both Adobe and Microsoft have moved their cloud apps forward with new developments. Adobe has released the next versions of some of its major applications, now calling them CC (Creative Cloud) rather than CS (Creative Suite). Subscribers to Adobe’s Creative Cloud can simply download and install the applications as part of the service, but they are not available otherwise.
Microsoft has released a light iPhone version of Office, only available to Office 365 subscribers, the first major advantage of the subscription over owning the pre-cloud version of Office. It looks like Microsoft will limit these apps to only small screen devices, not wishing to compete with its own tablet devices by releasing them for the iPad.
