“My boss paid for InDesign; not once, but for all of our 4 or 5 active computers”

Ah, well, that's your non-problem right there — you have a boss. I have to make the choice myself. As I recall, I have pre-ordered the upgrade on every occasion since CS2, then spent a bit of extra time trying to persuade local publishers that they should upgrade to the new version too. As “the best friend Adobe ever had”, I'm entitled to grumble occasionally — it's a necessary ingredient in a happy marriage. I wish they would introduce some sort of customer loyalty point system for those of us who have a good record, though. By this stage, I should count as an honorary American.
