[Leica] Anybody doing Adobe Creative Suite 2 yet?

No, it's always been like that, a long time before the $ went down. I have 
PS registered since v1.0 and Illustrator since v.88. Adobe "justifies" it 
with "additional costs for the language localisation". This is not true for 
two reasons:

- England has a mostly similar language version as the USA but pays double 
price (the only diference are the default print formats and maybe some 
specific terms in the menus)

- the language localization contributes to max. 1%-2% of the development 
costs, not 50%

My opinion: They just rip off as much as and wherever they can.
