Creative Cloud
What’s new in CC (Cs7!) Creative Cloud on your desktop Behance Integration with Behance, the world’s leading creative community. You can publish your portfolios, follow other creatives, publish work-in-progress from within a growing number of Creative Cloud apps, and solicit feedback from the worldwide creative community. Over 1.4 million creatives globally are already part of the Behance network.
Sync Colors with Kuler The new Adobe Kuler iPhone app lets you share your themes and explore thousands of others available on the Kuler website. Sync your favorite themes, and they’re accessible immediately in Illustrator CC.
Download Center The new Download Center provides access to all apps and services at a single place. You can view all the details, such as system requirements and a summary of new features. You can also install apps and access services from the Download Center.
Sync Settings The ability to sync your settings to Creative Cloud, so you can work the way you like on any of your computers—Mac or PC. Synchronize your workspace settings—including things like preferences, presets, brushes, and libraries—so they go where you go.

Plans & Pricing here: https://creative.adobe.com/plans “Bridge” comes free with at least Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign when purchased as Single apps. It is still a separate download and install, however.
Some Missing Features—according to David Blatner “Adobe hasn’t shipped everything they’ve promised yet. For example, the Typekit feature that lets you download fonts to your desktop and use them in any program—that’s coming “soon.” Adobe is sure to roll out all kinds of features over the next few months—in fact, that is part of the whole reason they’re going to a “cloud” distribution model: They don’t have to hold up the release of these programs until that stuff is ready!”
