    3 out of 5 stars Check upgrade capability   September 10, 2008
    J. Poyer (Valdosta, GA)
    I bought this but was unable to use it for the upgrade because I did not have a certain version of DW. It was a while ago, but I had to sell this one on Ebay and just ended up buying the Creative Suite. Dreamweaver is a GREAT PROGRAM though -- if I were just rating Dreamweaver, I would give it 5 stars across the board.


    5 out of 5 stars Great CSS support, highly recommended   August 16, 2008
    Janet L. (Birmingham, AL USA)
    Not for beginners or the faint of heart, Dreamweaver's present incarnation is still the best thing on the market today. With enhanced CSS support that is simple enough for a nonprofessional, this software can help you get away from the old tables method of formatting and over to CSS and XHTML. It's worth upgrading.

    I just purchased an upgrade from Studio MX 2004 and cannot change from a windows based pc to a mac. Macromedia was a great company, never a problem. I will not purchase ANY other product from Adobe.


    1 out of 5 stars Be CAREFULL before you upgrade with this product !!   May 9, 2008

    The other posts are correct. -- Be very careful before you purchase this upgrade.

    Macromedia seemed to have had a different (better) upgrade policy than Adobe and if you don't read carefully you might get yourself stuck with a product that you can't use. -- I have the MX2004Pro studio (that includes Dreamweaver MX2004) but I just wanted to upgrade to Dreamweaver CS3. After reading the other posts on this page - I went to Adobe to see what they had to say on the issue.

    This is their response: "I understand that you want to know whether you can upgrade to Dreamweaver CS3 (from the MX2004 Studo Suite). This is to inform you that as per Adobe's upgrade policy; there is no upgrade path from a component product of a "Suite" to a "standalone product". Therefore you will be unable to upgrade from a suite product like Studio (although it contains Dreamweaver) to a standalone product like Dreamweaver CS3."

    ...This is not the response I wanted, but it may be a blessing in disguise. Adobe has now given me the incentive I need to stop using Dreamweaver as a crutch and start learning how to code and build CSS websites by hand.

    4 out of 5 stars Nice upgrade from MX   December 2, 2007

    One of the early WYSIWYG web page builders I used was an Adobe product that had the worst manuals and workflow ever, so I assumed the Adobe influence on Dreamweaver would be awful. This upgrade was a pleasant surprise, fixing some key issues I had with MX, and offering some features I have yet to explore.
