Where do you get this info Chris.  Adobe is saying Q4 2006, no later than Q1
2007.  They are releasing CS3 that will be universal...they chose not to
update CS2.  There are beta tests running now..I am unable to say more but
some of you can guess I may be involved with that...and the target dates and
progress as well as what Adobe has said publicly is no where close to what
you are saying Chris. Sorry again.
