"Well, improved, stabilized, memory consuming" on by akbisw
Pros: Gets jobs done, love the new tools, shapes, and 3d editing, that flow thingi, and the interface is kinda bulky, but i think im gonna stick with cs3 till theres a major update
Cons: eats up my memory like hell and so far my trial is ending and i see no reason to buy it
Summary: Try first before buying it, its a pricey software and i think its not ready yet, well, its ready, but, unless you arent charmed with those fancy new stuffs, stick with cs3, lastly go windows 7
well, to architect student and schools, its a great tool, and its really awesome, but try before buying, thats what they called it "Buyers Beware"

"No Support for Older Versions" on by gspan102
Pros: Good product while it stays on your computer
Cons: IF your computer crashes, or you decide to switch PC/MAC'S they will not have support for you to redownload your product.
Summary: Sample of my support response:
Thank you for choosing Adobe. A representative will be with you shortly. Your estimated wait time is 0 minute(s) and 13 second(s) or longer as there are 1 customer(s) in line ahead of you.
You are now chatting with Mukesh.
Greg: Hello
Mukesh: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Mukesh: Please allow me a moment to review your request.
Mukesh: Hi Greg.
Mukesh: Could you please brief about the issue?
Greg: Mukesh, I was told by support that you no longer support a prior vesion of photoshop, Which I understand, but Honestly, having spent over $400 on this key and have my computer crash I would just simply like to reinstall it
Greg: version CS3
Mukesh: I understand that you want to install the software and activate it, is that correct?
Greg: correct
Greg: I still have my key, which is registered to me and no one else
Greg: the problem is finding a way to download cs3
Mukesh: Thank you for waiting. One moment please.
Mukesh: Greg, I understand your situation, But I very sorry that we have no link or Disc for the CS3 anymore as it is a very old version.
Mukesh: May I know how you installed the software initially?
Mukesh: Was it from a disc or a download link?
Greg: Very Old...what 08/09' is very old
Greg: from both
Greg: And honestly, it's completly unfair not to be able to redownload the product having paid for it.
Mukesh: In that case you will still have the download link in your Adobe account.
Mukesh: Please login and check under the "Order History".
Greg: Well how come I cant see it
Mukesh: How was your order delivered when you purchased the software?
Greg: emailed a linked, and shipped the disc

Mukesh: Thank you for holding,Greg.
Greg: good news?
Mukesh: I am sorry to inform you that there is no CS3,
Mukesh: I tried all my best, but I am helpless.
Greg: So I just lost $400
Greg: So where in the purchase of my software did it state, that we will only support/ allow for download for so long
Mukesh: I am sorry. however, you can upgrade to CS4 and it you upgrade now you will get a free upgrade to CS5.
Greg: Honestly, and I understand that this isnt your fault, but I dont care for the upgrade
Greg: Especially, considering this situation
Greg: Why would I ever purchase an adobe product knowing that support is limited.
Mukesh: Greg, I apologize for the inconvenience caused but there is no other option.
Thanks for nothing Adobe, $400 down the drain! -

"Great improvement to an already amazing platform" on by jackhunteford
Pros: Faster, more features, more intuitive
Cons: More money! Haha
Summary: Anyone who uses photoshop as a source of income like i do definately needs to upgrade to the latest version... a slew of new features and optimizations make it well worth the money. The ability to import raw picture files is awsome.
