@nomad

Link is little old, it is released long time ago.

Are there any statements about how successful for Adobe their new strategy actually is?

Has anything changed since the statistics posted by Vitaliy in March 2014? (Previous page)

Where please?

Things are getting better and better (for Adobe, for users it is reverse)

First quarter of 2017 results

• net profit soared from $254 in Q1 2016 to $400 millions
• income soared from $1,38 to $1,68 also

Big part here played rounds of price hikes in EU and many other locations.

@zcream

Well, who prevents you to make temporary internet only virtual cards?

And cancel them as you wish.

Not all companies/banks/countries offer support for virtual cards.

Many good banks allow you to even make them yourself via internet bank :-)

@Vitaliy_Kiselev I am currently in India. You know what they did to the currency recently right :-)
