The MONARCHTechstore on ODU’s campus is offering the following prices on Adobe software to ODU students:

• Adobe CS3.3 Design Premium: $322.00 USD
• Adobe CS3.3 Design Standard: $218.00
• Adobe CS3 Web Standard: $218.00
• Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended: $186.00
• Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: $67.00

Every time I see deals like this, it reminds me how much Adobe is bleeding it’s customers dry with their almost-a-monopoly on professional design tools. If they’re still making a profit from selling bulk licenses to colleges at these prices, how much profit are they making from regular users?
