I didn't want to use 5.5

I setup the work-flow and was ready to deploy. When I went to purchase the licenses, the adobe sales rep said it was their policy to only sell the CS5.5 version.

I feel betrayed because each new version of Adobe's product brings more bugs and no useful features. This is is a direct consequence of adobe's monopoly, which disregards the needs of its users in favor of push new versions down our throats. Reminds of Windows ME.

That's bad. Adobe does tend to screw their customers in similar business ways.

Well, I don't know about InDesign much, but this is not true for: Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere.
