Upgraded from version 7 to CS3:

This is pretty nice - everything is basically the same as before for the things I use it for (Photoshop). I like how Illustrator can convert raster images to vector images. I like being able to zoom in using DreamWeaver and its better support for newer html coding using divs and styles etc. I wouldn't use anything but Photoshop/Dreamweaver to make websites, so I give this a high score.

Adobe CS3 Nightmare: CS3 Will Not Install on All Machines:

All I can say is this program will require I reformat my hard drive in order to install it on my computer of choice. Adobe CS3 is very unreliable and finicky.

Stable, Powerfull, Essential & Expensive:

I've been using Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash & Dreamweaver for over 5 years now.
These applications have always excelled at what they do, and this package is no exception. It's also stable, and after 4 weeks I've had no crashing issues (be sure your computer meets or even tops the minimum system requirements).
The major "upgrade" I was expecting in this CS3 package was cross-application compatibility. To an extent that has been accomplished (the "relationship" between Dreamweaver &... more info

Overall great, with some problems.:

I am enjoying using this product overall... but I am having some major issues with using Adobe Acrobat 8. It keeps telling me to re-install the program to be able to use the features (like importing a word document to create a new form). I downloaded updates, etc.. and nothing seems to work. (I use Windows XP). It's extremely frustrating since Acrobat was one of the reasons I chose to buy the "Creative Suite" rather than just the individual programs I needed.
