Adobe sheds light on Creative Suite in Snow Leopard
In the run-up to the September release of Snow Leopard, some questions arose as to whether Adobe's Creative Suite 4 package would be compatible with the new OS X.
Given the number of Mac users who are reliant on one or more Adobe products to make a living, this was understandably a pretty big concern for the Mac community. To address those issues, Adobe has posted a Q&A about how its software will work with Snow Leopard.
The short of it is that no, Snow Leopard won't kill CS4. The outlook for the earlier CS3 family isn't as clear, though we will all find out soon enough. So, if you're running CS4, no worries, everything will run fine. If you're running an earlier version that is essential for your job, you may want to hold off a bit and let other people try it out.
As an aside, good move by Adobe to address this issue before Snow Leopard was released. The company took grief for being slow to update CS to Universal Binary, and this was a nice move for a very sizable portion of their user base in creative professionals who use Macs.
