Adobe Creative Suite Announced

Unbelievable

What the **** are you people complaining about?

Ugly Icons? The "NAME" of the suite? Gimme a break!

The upgrades can be purchased seperately.

These are NOT new apps, the CS moniker is just a darn name of the bundle changing from "Collection" to "Suite" - that's it. It's still PS 8, AI 11, ID 3 and GL 7 no matter what they call the bundle.

The upgrades are fairly priced (some higher, some lower than in the past, but at least they are all $169 each now) But with the full suite, you get the extra app "Cue"

Yes, these are NEW apps with a NEW name. Even individually, Adobe refers to them as CS: "Announcing Adobe Photoshop CS". Gotta love the marketeers.
 
More info

The pricing is great on this. The $999 for standard or $1299 for premium edition is for new versions, not upgrades. The standard is:
Adobe Photoshop CS
Adobe ImageReady CS,
Adobe Illustrator CS,
Adobe InDesign CS,
Adobe GoLive CS
Adobe Acrobat 6.0

The standard edition lacks Acrobat 6 and GoLive.

The Upgrade prices are $749.95 (Premium).

To qualify for the upgrade, all you need is a single Photoshop license, making this a very cheap upgrade. What is more, if you have the other applications, you will effectively get a second serial number for each of these.

Adobe is not forcing you to upgrade to CS. All the individual packages will be available as stand alone upgrades for prices similar to current upgrades.

The big difference with buying the CS Bundle, is that it comes with Version Cue (not available separately). Version Cue is a work group tool for managing version control of images, websites etc, in a similar, but much better, way than the old GoLive Workgroup Server.

This is not a huge upgrade but it is getting rid of the old collections and is effectively lowering the bundle price.

Adobe are not saying what future versions of CS will be called (CS2.0? CS 2004?) but they say they have it covered.

Same price the previous Design Collection with the added bonus of GoLive, for those people who were thinking about spending money on DreamWeaver. ;)

Actually, GoLive was in the old web suite as well. Let's not start a DW vs GL debate. :p
 
What ever happened to all the "great" new features InDesign 3 and Acrobat 6 were supposed to have? Why can't I place QT movies into an InDesign document while I'm building a PDF or presentation? Why doesn't Acrobat support the placement of Flash content or animations? And why can't my InDesign document have more than one page size?

Seems like these features were cut out of the final release. That's really unfortunate. Those would have been great additions.

Right, you'd have to buy two collections to get everything that they're now putting in CS.

yeah, don't mentioning the feature "save table style as...." in indesign 3.0. It's a must! I'm also dissapointed with page sizes, that's why I really loved Freehand. Well i guess they weren't cut out cause a lot of those missing things you get with third party softwares...but they aren't cheap. A plug-in for tables is 399...:confused:
 
Am I missing something or is it cheaper to buy the upgrades separately ?
3 ( PS, Ilulustrator & InDesign ) x $170 = $510
OK, I get Version Cue for $39, but still.
