Good find. Word of warning to Mac users on Mountain Lion (and Lion I think), CS2 won't install.

That is one area you don't want to use old software in.

Photoshop and illustrator will do well for the amateur but using dated web development software is not recommended as web standards evolve so much.

While I wouldn't touch golive etc myself. New standards and revised standard doesn't make the old ones irrelevant. Xhtml, css, jpeg, gif, png, svg etc. will be supported for a loooong time yet and we're probably years off moving on to html5 and css3 for most real world sites. Once you've validated and browser tested as you would have to anyway I don't see a problem.

If anything people prematurely moving onto new standards is a bigger problem.

Most of the browser stats you see are from techie websites - I mean how many grannies visit w3c sites. If you look at the real world analytics for non hip/techie websites internet exploder 6, 7 and 8 are still often 25+%

I'd say the site is just getting a hammering now that North America is fully awake.

EDIT: Direct Links to files now on the slickdeals thread wiki.

Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks were all Macromedia products, Adobe only acquired Macromedia a few years back, I reckon that's why they are not included

Is that powerpc only? I think the only way for intel Macs to run this would be to download the Windows version and run in Wine. I'm downloading the Windows version now so will see what happens.

It's reported on that wiki page coffee to go linked to that this was a mistake and Adobe aren't giving it away. I've already downloaded and installed it though so...

If the Adobe forum discussion on link below is to be believed, it may be that Adobe made a mistake releasing serial codes on a page available to anyone with a free AdobeID... !!!

See replies :

Hence explaining why the page is now offline :-(
