Adobe has finally announced the release of their updated and re-branded version of their Creative Suite line of products. Now go buy that new MacBook Pro you’ve been putting off, because the whole suite runs natively on Intel-based Macs, unlike it’s predecessors. This from Adobe’s website:
The Adobe® Creative® Suite 3 family offers you choice — in the combination of creative tools you master, the design disciplines you explore, and the richness and scope of content you create. This revolutionary new release includes six editions, each combining tightly integrated, industry-leading components that enable you to handle virtually any creative task.
Together these six editions of Creative Suite 3 address virtually every creative discipline and empower you to work more efficiently with your creative team; collaborate more closely with developers to produce engaging experiences; and serve your clients, your business, and your creative vision more easily and effectively than ever before.

- Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium
