why hasn't anyone mentioned about not being able to work without a fast and stable internet connection?
Umm.... because you don't need one? This seems to be a common misconception. You download and install it once, like a normal application. You use your internet connection to authorize the application when you install it and once every 30 days it checks in again. The application will run for up to 180 days without authentication if need be (I'm writing this from memory of what I read earlier).
You're not running the entire program over the internet every time you launch it.
What happens on day 29 with 1 hour to go until Adobe check in and your ISP decides to give out until the next day and you have a client waiting in the morning? Maybe you could haul your laptop somewhere else but a desktop system would be a real pain. There's a seven day grace period from what I've read, but I'm looking for a cite directly from Adobe.
