The Winblows version is guaranteed to run faster.

I will be curious to see if they highlight iPhone development in Flash now, and what Apple jabs they make in the process.

In 1996 when Apple was seemingly on the ropes, Adobe made a crucial business decision and one that is coming back to bite them in the ass. They declared that their primary development platform would be Windows; subsequently, every new application or major revision of a product was introduced for Windows first and followed months later, sometimes never at all, by a Mac version.

After Steve Jobs took over and he was charting out a new course with OS X, Apple reached out many times to Abode to introduce a native version of their suite for the new OS. Adobe never committed – standing by its prediction that OS X would never gain momentum or share and it would ride the Windows ascendancy. Adobe thought that it had the dominant hand and displayed its arrogance in public.

Anyone hear anything else on whether the post announcement upgrade policy will apply this time around?

[Racer X]

I want to know that as well.

Apparently the upgrades from CS2 & CS3 cost $200 more than the upgrades from CS4. So, if the post announcement upgrade works, it would make more sense to buy a CS4 upgrade now.

That's how I went from PS7 up to CS3 when it came out. You needed to buy CS2 in the alloted time but you still saved when all was said and done. The trick is to know if they will honor it again for CS5.
