Its Dreamweaver CS6 Web design application provides many new tools for Web designers to implement interactive elements that rely on HTML5 code and CSS3 controls instead of Flash and instead of Flash video, it promotes the use of newer, HTML5-friendly Web video standards.

With its Creative Suite 6, Adobe seems to be doing just that. So if you’re the company that enjoys owning such a popular standard, you should focus all of your efforts on … steering everyone away from it? Estimators say that 98 percent of the world’s computers have Flash installed on them, whether they’re running Windows, the Mac OS, or any other operating system, and no matter which browser they’re running. Existing users of CS3, CS4, CS5, and CS5.5 are being offered a discounted introductory price of $30 per month and there's also a free membership with only 2GB of storage space that lets you synchronize and share files across devices, and includes 30-day free trials of all the desktop applications included in the paid membership.Creative Suite 6’s three major applications: Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Premiere Pro.Flash has been the standard for Web multimedia since the term “multimedia” arrived. Originally introduced last fall in conjunction with the original Adobe Touch tablet-based apps, the subscription service not only lets you download and install the Adobe desktop applications to your PC, but it also includes connectivity to Adobe Touch apps and provides 20GB of cloud-based storage so you can access your files from any web browser, and view, synchronize, and share your files across multiple computing devices (e.g., tablet and desktop PCs). The $75 per month Creative Cloud offering (or $50 per month with an annual membership), serves up all the CS6 applications as well as Adobe Muse and Edge Preview, two new HTML5 products. Though there have been plenty of previews of Adobe Creative Suite 6 before today's big product announcement (not the least of which was the public beta of Photoshop CS6), Adobe has now unveiled not only all 14 updated applications, but also its new and much-debated Creative Cloud subscription service.
