Agree!
Me too.
But you forgot time spent installing products. That’s also a sizable section.
You forgot to add the section of Waiting on Adobe to Load….. plugins *grumble grumble*
You forgot to get a faster computer.
Uber agree, i have sat through about… 9000 updates for adobe
WHAT 9000?!?! THERES NO WAY THAT CAN BE RIGHT!?!
And I’d still rather dick with the damn updates than watch Dragonball Z.
So, what, you’d rather they just /not/ updated it?
..wait, do they give you changelogs?
In relation to the Damn PDF viewer, the very first version opened a PDF why update it? unless you have got a £500 copy of adobe Audition, which is a nice bit of kit, thats not been updated… and that works fine!
i have not had these issues. my pie chart colors would be reversed.
even reversed that’s a lot of time processing updates…
I think he was generalizing the reversed trend rather than specifying that it was exactly opposite.
I stopped using adobe, apart from flash player. it’s become bloatware supreme. Inkscape and the Gimp FTW!
What I find odd is that Ubuntu doesn’t ship with Inkscape in main. GIMP is this scary, powerful thing the average user can’t handle, especially with the upcoming 2.6 w/ cmyk and all that jazz, it’s going to be basically a free photoshop clone.
…Windows ships with paint, and most people still use it. Never underestimate toys, they’re important.
I’m giving a howto speech on inkscape for my public speaking class tomorrow, trying to write up my outline now..
Photoshopped!
Must be using windows.
Yeah really, screw that, get an Ubuntu Dell or a mac.
Quick note– you should NEVER restart unless there’s a kernel update. If you just want to turn your computer off, use ’sleep’ or ’suspend’, or /maybe/ hibernate. Suspend takes like 5 seconds to get right back to your desktop and uses very, very little power.
–you might say Ubuntu support for suspend is sketchy, but hey, that’s why I bought it preinstalled– I don’t have to worry about any of that.
(I tried OSX on my Dell and its hardware support was horrible.)
wtf? ur computers must suck (read : PCs)
i use the adobe CS3 suite as a graphic designer everyday and i never have to update/restart, and it loads just slightly slower than firefox.
and mega lulz @ inkscape (read : noob)
this graph is fail.
PC is not a platform. An x86 Apple machine running OSX is a PC. An Ubuntu Dell is a PC. A Vista HP is a PC. An XP Compaq is a PC.
Macs stopped being special to me when IBM’s incompetence with mobility forced them to abandon the PPC ISA.
You mean Motorola?
Hah I ignore the update requests everytime.
You guys must have slow computers… Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme (3.2 GHz) processor FTW!!! Oh yeah, and a Radeon 4800 series graphics card and 4 GB DDR3 RAM and Windows Vista Ultimate x64. No problems, whatsoever, loads CS3 in seconds. WIN!
Percentage of RAM usage by software:
Adobe Photoshop from Creative Suite 3: 17%
Microsoft Windows Vista: 54%
Malware: 7%
Anti-Malware: 14%
Hard drive cache: 8%
Actually I have yet to even come close to maxing out my RAM. Maybe if I’m running Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Flash all while listening to music, downloading files, browsing the Internet and poking your mom on Facebook it might break the 75% marker. But still, I can only poke your mom so many times before it starts to get boring.
See, I have DDR3 RAM that runs at 1333MHz, unlike any memory you can get in a Mac, which is DDR2 RAM that runs at only 800MHz.
On my machine it’s usually something like this:
Firefox: 30%……
I hope firefox 3.1 gets more intelligent caching algorithms. Whenever I get even remotely close to using my GB of RAM (read: half way), it’s usually Firefox at 300 MB, which is ridiculous to me. I browse a bunch, then I close everything but my gmail and my igoogle, and it just sits at 300 MB with two tabs open– seriously, what the heck.
I have a Compaq with a pentium 4 2.0Ghz with 512mb ram running windows 2000 and that chart should be the other way around in my option.
one of my computers is about that old, its got about 1.0 Ghz but 756mb of ram. my only problem with it is that IE5 wont display anything nowdays.
Lmao gotta love all the “my computer’s bigger than yours!” posts coming out here as if the graph was about penis length or something.
*everything* is about penis length
which means, penis lenght is everything
well most anything that is competitive can be taken personally,
and i’d say humans are pretty competitive by nature so
anything can be about penis length
My post is bigger than your post
which is bigger than his post
but not quite as big as my post
which means that my member is bigger
But yours is still bigger than his
yet still smaller than mine
But I’m not competitive
So I’ll let this go
Foxit reader FTW!
Nerdiest Thread EVER!
This graph is true for me. Adobe Acrobat is the main culprit, though. I’ve never had those issues with Photoshop.
I suggest adding an additional slice – “Time spent breaking down language barrier at Adobe customer service from a guy who says his name is Roy but who clearly is really named Srini.”

ROFLMAO!
Sorry I don’t get this. I use Adobe products all day long (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and NEVER had problems or issues. As a graphic artists, they are all I use.
Maybe it’s because the Adobe products are being used on PC’s instead of Mac’s? Though I have the same products on my PC at home and still don’t have these so-called issues. *shrug*
I agree with you…except I’m on a Mac. Either way, what’s wrong with the OP’s machine.
OMG I just had this problem this morning!
Not worth the trouble.
I use Dreamweaver and Photoshop on a daily basis and never have a problem with this really. Maybe like once every few months I have to restart the program, but that’s honestly about it…and that takes like a minute tops (which I think it probably depends largely on how fast your computer is).
At the same time, I could see how annoying it’d be rushing to your photoshop because you have some new graphjam idea…only to be confronted with an update dialogue. (not really ackshullyz)
75% should be devoted to finding a keygen or serial.
And then theres the countless hours spent rebuilding my Flash file when the server gets disconnected for like one second!
YOU FORGOT ABOUT UNINSTALLING & REINSTALLING… that’s a 10% right there.
xpdf always works, super fast and never any updates :=)
