don't count on that... I mean March 27 for DW, FLA, and FIREWORKS... You'll have to wait some more...
you do need CS2 to officially use the CS3 beta, however there are at least two hacks out to circumvent that requirement. almost certainly illegal though.
If you go here
http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/family.html
you can download the beta.
You need a CS2 licence number and 10.4.8 installed to run the PS3 Beta
Details I am waiting for:
- Upgrade price from CS2
- different combinations of the CS3
I use Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver and Acrobat Pro.
Would be nice to see GoLive get taken out. Useless, IMO.

Oh boy where have you been? GoLive is most certainly a gone-er. Dreamweaver is the industry standard, and thus GoLive was replaced by it (and of course DW was probably given an Adobe-esque facelife).
I still say a used PMG5 is the fastest available device at the lowest cost for CS3 or 2 even if my in-topic posts were deleted. Pros have to wait till late spring for CS3. Pull the trigger on a PMG5. I said so.

Dumbest.icons.ever.
Agreed.
I think its funny that the makers of arguably the most powerful image editing software of all time uses icons that an 8 year old could make in 6 minutes in M$ Paint!
I'm sure GoLive is a goner, but according to this Adobe link, it's still part of CS2. I'm hoping that CS3 will remove it completely.

Um Go Live has an icon in the new Adobe product matrix, as well as Freehand, dont speak so soon...
What about After Effects? It's not part of the CS package but I probably spend 80% of my time there.
After Effects is part of the current Creative Suite Production Studio for video professionals.
Hmm, well unfortunately I don't think my employer bought that package. We have the CS2 package and I'm pretty sure they bought AE separately (which is probably why I'm still stuck using 6.5). Is there some sort of upgrade path from standard CS2 to the CS Vid Prod Studio? We definitely need Photoshop and Illustrator, but never use GoLive or InDesign.
Interesting
Apple store Finnland (and most other stores too, but not US) has this special offer when you're customising your mac: 'Special offer: Purchase any Mac computer and Final Cut Express HD from January 2 to March 27, 2007, and receive up to €150 back via mail-in rebate. Simply choose the preinstall option and send the mail-in rebate coupon (pdf) back to us.'
Is the date just coincidence, or are they trying to sell older hardware to make room for new models? Maybe new iMacs and Mac Pros at March 28?

Does anyone know what the system requirements are going to be?
Some sales rep told my boss that we wouldn't be able to run CS3(?) on our current machines (after he called to check on CS3). We just upgraded everything... we are now running all G4s computers of various flavors (slowest a 700 Mhz eMac), all maxed out on RAM, running OSX 10.4.8. I'm not sure what else would need upgrading. Hard drive space isn't a problem either.
I realize that some of the machines running just 1GB or RAM might be a bit challenged, but it should still run.
I'm thinking the sales guy was feeding my boss a line just to placate him after he just spend a ton of $$ buying several packages of CS2...and trying to save the sale (hasn't been delivered yet).
Anyone know???
Thanks

It's on apple.com. (well, the US store)
It's even on amazon.com.
And I'm pretty sure they've both been running this promo for quite awhile now.
I reallllly need UB Photoshop Elements right now! (poor student can't afford CS3
Ditto that -- I'm not a student but I really don't need the power of full Photoshop. Does Adobe usually release Elements concurrently with CS updates?
Dreamweaver?
Will CS3 include Dreamweaver? If not, what is the release date for Dreamweaver and the former Studio suite programs shaping up to be?
