Adobe Officially Announces Creative Suite 3

March 21, 2007

After much speculation on when it would finally be released, Adobe has officially announced the Creative Suite 3 (CS3) Launch Event on March 27, 2007 in NYC. Adobe is touting this release as "the largest software release in Adobe's 25-year history." Based on some of the additions, improvements and refinements seen in the PhotoShop CS3 beta, expectations are high for the other CS products.

Creative Suite 3 will be the first release from Adobe that is optimised to run natively on Intel-based Macs and be the first full release since the company merged with Macromedia in 2005.

Adobe is expected to release several bundle options for CS3 to appeal to different design markets including web, print and video professionals. Many are also eager to see how former Macromedia products will be represented in the various bundles.

As a secondary effect to the release, it is anticipated that Apple will see a spike in sales as it's believed that many graphic professionals have been holding off on that new Intel Mac purchase until Adobe could put out this native release.
