I was wondering, if you are using any CS4 bundles like Production
Premium/Desgin Premium etc. or are you using Individual products. And
I was also wondering, if buying these bundles are better or buying
individual products in CS4 makes sense.
I am CS3 user, so would you recommend an upgrade to any CS4 Product?
Do you think, if I wait, I may get CS4 cheaper? And any ideas on when
CS5 will come? Thanks for your help!!

That would be up to you. If you only need a couple of the apps just
upgrade those. To upgrade the whole suite is $600 for premium. Not
bad.

I upgraded from CS2 so I don't know how big the upgrade is from 3.
Fred might. It's a big jump from 2

Nope, but I'd guess a couple of years.

I'd agree with that. If you are using more than one of the products in
the bundle it is probably worth the upgrade. If you just use photoshop,
or illustrator, or dreamweaver, then no, single product upgrades would
be the way to go.

Again, it depends on your situation. If you work with clients, other
artists, freelancers, etc. who may have upgraded and wants to hand you
documents in CS4, then by all means upgrade. If you are a stand alone
shop, and don't need to interface with anyone else who has upgraded, the
choice is less clear cut.

Depends on what you so. Dreamweaver renders better now in non-code mode,
but I rarely use that. Photoshop has several good new features. I
haven't looked too much at Flash, but it looks like a small upgrade,
certainly not as big as the CS3 jum p with the introduction of AS3. The
documents are not backwardly compatible, i.e. if you have a CS 4 Flash
document, you can't open it in CS3 flash, but you can save it back to
CS3. The interface on all has changed dramatically.

No. At least not from Adobe. That's not their history.

I'm still exploring CS4, so not too soon I hope. Depends on when Adobe
needs more income.
