That's true. This is probably an announcement/demo of CS3, not a release. Like Leopard.
I absolutely agree. Adobe is a mess right now, and there is no way they are 7 months ahead of schedule.
Only exception to this is they pulled features and crashed the development cycle--Adobe is sounding more, more like Microsoft nowadays--because their earnings have been so bad and they need to give Wall Street some sugar. Plus, they can't be happy about Aperture after the beating Apple gave Adobe in the video space.

But I don't see what the UPside to Adobe would be either! Only to the consumer, which I'm not sure they care about.
The upside to Adobe is to get people testing their apps, and to keep people fired up about their suite.

Sorry, MS who?
I agree. If Apple finally does the serious update to iWork its customers have been waiting for, I'm dumping MSOffice for good.
I think if Apple does a serious upgrade, and had true file format compatibility which is possible given the company they bought a year ago, I think Apple is going to be blown away with the sales figures.
iWork has been a disappointment only because it is missing key features, and is buggy and slow as hell. But it shows brilliant promise. I hope Apple nails iWork in this next release.
For me, it helps me create beautiful documents. And dumping the last of Microsoft once and for all is just icing on the cake.
