When you install Adobe Version Cue CS3 Server on Mac systems that have the Mac OS X personal firewall enabled, the installer turns off the firewall to correctly set up Version Cue Server but does not turn the firewall back on at the end. This creates a potential security vulnerability.
Just incredibly poor use case creation, coding and QA. I’m shocked nobody caught this in system testing or beta.
As DF says, astoundingly bad form.

That’s Adobe for ya - doing their part to make life easier for pirates.

Version Cue is bloated shovelware anyway, am I right?

More proof that Abode is simply poop. Never have I given so much money, over so many years, for such lousy programs as Adobe. Really, it seems like they gave up after Photoshop.

What’s interesting is how Microsoft is chasing Adobe’s lunch: Silverlight and Expression threaten much of Adobe’s core domain (Photoshop/photo editing notwithstanding). Does MSFT smell blood in the water or just want a piece of the design/media market?

Oh, I don’t think Adobe is in danger of loosing their hold on the creative market anytime soon. MS has a long history of trying to move into new areas. I bet they get their panties in a bunch when they see a whole company running MS products… except for those ‘art’ types. Complete domination tastes a lot better then ‘almost’ complete domination.

Yeah, PhotoShop is pretty great, and so is Illustrator. But has anyone tried using their licensing website? It’s a cure for sanity!
