"...The announcement came as Adobe said it earned $136 million, or 26 cents per share, in the fiscal third quarter that ended in August, down 29 percent from the same time a year earlier....The recession has slowed demand for Creative Suite 4, the most recent version of the software package that brings in the bulk of the company's revenue. But analysts say this will likely mean more pent-up demand for Creative Suite 5 when it launches...."

Really?....hmmmm...well, anyway, don't expect prices on CS5 to drop after this acquisition.

I'm not familiar with Omniture, but I dispute that the recession is failing to drive CS4's sales figures.
The suite is nearing feature saturation already, and the upgrade cost is steep even in boom times. I do agree that CS5 will be better received, as most people will be want to pair its 64 bitness with Snow Leopard.
