Adobe unveils new Creative Suite 3 packages - watch the live webcast this afternoon

I was unhappy to find out that you can't upgrade from Golive CS2 to Dreamweaver CS3. Adds insult to injury. I know they're still planning to release a Golive 9, but how long are they going to support that?

16: If what you say were true, than why is it that only Adobe needs to ripp us off like this ?
I understand what you are saying, and it is justiffiable to a certain degree, but not to doubling the prices over here.

12: Europe is not "just another continent". Europe is a lot more stringent regulatory system with regards to operating business, which makes operating a division there more. I would bet that most of that difference is paid as taxes to pay for all the social services that Europeans brag so much about.

6: I don't know if I'd blame Adobe for the bugs for running their PPC apps on Intel if they work fine on a PPC. I'd call that a Rosetta bug.

Is anyone else getting sick of Adobe dead-ending the upgrade paths on their products? They should really take into account more than one piece of software in determining upgrade eligibility. Some of us have owned Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, etc. since before they started bundling them into suites. If I want to upgrade CS2 standard to the new Design Suite, they don't even care that I also already have Dreamweaver, Flash, and Acrobat. It was the same when CS came out and we had to pay for the "upsell from Photoshop" version.

Maybe worth mentioning that Adobe is getting more and more into corporate greed with every new release.

The European upgrades are almost double the price of what the exact same upgrade costs in the US.
$1133 in Europe vs $599 in the US, this is the price of CS2 Standard upgrade to CS3 Premium.

I don't mind paying a high price for good software, but charging double the price because it's another continent is criminal.

Adobe sure are Creative, at least with pricing structures. Upgrade from CS2 Premium > Design Standard CS3 for me as a UK resident will cost £492. In the US this same upgrade is $399. Hmm. How much is Quark anyone...

It is all clearly listed here:

What about dreamweaver CS3, is it going to look more like golive? will smart object be integrated DW? as well as other golive features?
thanks

Does anyone know if you can save down to InDesign CS2 from CS3? I want to upgrade ASAP, but not if no one else will be able to open my files.
