    4 out of 5 stars I think it is marketly improved with each update   April 17, 2008
    Stuart Floyd (New York, NY)
    Their programs work on both my desktop and laptop and they have once again improved over previous versions and it gives you such a wide variety of opportunities for creativity. Of course it is a monster program so you need a fast machine with space available to run it and it is good to know how to use it or get training as much to learn. I am glad Adobe bought Macromedia and have incorperated it with Adobe.

    I have Vista and installed the program in no time. I have had absolutely no problem and I LOVE the software. It's worth it.

    I read the reviews about the installation issues and turned off my virus protection just in case, had no issues what-so-ever with the installation or the internet activation.

    I'm running the package on a 3 year old laptop with Windows XP. Was worried that 512 Meg RAM would be too little but things are running smooth (but of course I cannot run many things simultaneously).

    I'm very impressed with the products offered in this package, it covers all my design needs and more. I'm new to many of the included products but don't find them as intimidating as some people claim. The package has many advanced features but that does not mean that it is complicated or difficult to use, the most common tools are easy to find.

    If you need a professional design studio package, don't even think about buying anything else than this.

    My Adobe software doesn't seem to work, and no one seems to care.

    Earlier this year i put in many (5) problem reports to Adobe about dreamweaver and they never actually fixed it, but they did "close" the case. Now I try to use the software (this time Acrobat) again and it fails AGAIN so I enter another problem (I opened a "web case" on their website), and it tells me someone in support will be getting back to me within 24 hours. That was 72 hours ago. Adobe really needs to have a high level manager look at their customer service problem. I have worked in the computer industry for nearly 30 years now, at all levels from operator to senior management of a company we took public on the nasdaq. I have worked in consulting for every size company, and I have founded several of my own companies. I know how customer service is supposed to function from a product (distribution) standpoint and from a service (installation and support) standpoint and my experience with Adobe ranks with the very worst.

    They stink.

    I spent $1,800 on this software and now I can't even generate a PDF file from a MS Word document and no one at Adobe seems to care. They never fixed my previous problem and I doubt this will ever get fixed.

    Pathetic.

    5 out of 5 stars Adobe software is the standard for Design   October 29, 2007

    The Adobe CS3 release is much quicker on both Mac and Windows. Performance is one of the best features of this release, although the tight integration between the older Macromedia products and the staples like Photoshop and Illustrator are also great time saves. This is one of the most exciting and valuable upgrades by Adobe in a long-time.
