Quite a bold move. I think companies should also consider the hybrid mode (and maybe Adobe is) -- where there is a fairly rich client whose bits can be downloaded on demand.
Quoted: At the Web 2.0 Summit in San Francisco today, Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen said that the company is working toward shifting all of their apps online, but that it would probably take about 10 years for a complete shift. While the web as the computing platform of the future is currently a popular idea, and while prognostication 10 years out is rarely a good idea, I'm skeptical that Adobe could pull off a full shift of its software catalog to Internet apps.

"Adobe Flex Builder 3 Pro is available for free to students and faculty of eligible education institutions."
Although Flex 3 is open source, there isn't a decent IDE out there for it apart from Adobe's commercial Flex Builder 3. Luckily, they've made it free for students here - just fill in the form and attach a scanned copy of your student card. Only takes a day or two to get the key. Pretty neat stuff.

Most Internet apps would still need a client footprint. Software as a Service is nice and works for backend integration/workflows. Software and Services is probably more realistic for a majority of the end-user apps (read as "human interaction is required") though.
We were just talking about this announcement at lunch. A bold statement indeed!
There are some great things about this, but considering how slow PhotoShop, Illustrator, and InDesign (all of which I use) can be with complex documents or large images, there's no way it can fully work over the pipe. I have some Photoshop images that are hundreds of megabytes. I'm working on a montage right now that is 440MB on disk. When I'm all done and I flatten it, it'll probably still be 150MB. I can see Lightroom working online and would be great for people who upload everything to Flickr, but I personally have >50GB of photos and that's not keeping everything.
