    I have great news for windows and mac users.

    Adobe "plans" on making the Creative Suite CS3 universal.

    If you have the full vers for windows you can buy the mac upgrade and get it to work on a Mac. The details will be released once it comes out.

    Yay! I love Adobe :D.

    Finally, I can upgrade my Photoshop without feeling that I'm wasting money. I'm still using Photoshop 7.

    There isn't that big of a difference from 7 to CS2 imo. New filters, new nifty things, but nothing you can't live without. I'm excited for CS3, but I won't be buying it anytime soon, CS2 does everything I need and more.

    I just posted it since it was a concern to me since I might be checking out macs in the near future and thought everyone else might like to know.

    Are you sure universal means will work on Windows and Mac?

    Apple uses the phrase universal to mean it will work "universal" on their machines, ie both Intel and PPC.

    I know its not too large of an update from 7 to CS2 or 3, but I do like Vanishing Point, although the Stamp/Clone tool already does most of it.

    Do they have any plans of integrating the former Macromedia products into CS3?

    Universal doesn't mean it will be the same for MAC and Windows, it means they are actually releasing the Universal Binary for MACs that will work with Power PC and Intels which they haven't done yet.

    I get what you guys are saying about the Universal.

    So the creative suite is universal it can run on the Intel part of the mac or the windows side?

    My dreamweaver 8 has both logos on it. Does that mean it can run on the Intel Macs?

    I think that means the CD has the installers for both Windows and Mac, but you prolly only have the serial number for one platform.

    Universal means OSX on either Intel or PPC, not OSX or Windows on Intel or PPC.

    I really doubt Adobe is making it so you buy software and it works on Windows and OSX. That would be great though, since, it's part of the reason I don't have a Mac right now. I got tired of chasing upgrade paths on two platforms.

    Dreamweaver 8 comes with both logos on the box now so they went with only selling one box with 2 versions in it.
