Has anyone got an info on Adobe offering a grace period? I might chase this up with Adobe to see if there is anything they can do about this.

Buy it.
You know your designs will be better,
you know printshops always want the absolutely latest version,
and you know that 10 years from now CS34 will cut off support for CS5 and earlier.- Your designs will be 0.5% betterabettertomorrow
- more colors, more rounder beziers
more squared marqueesPeter

The big difference with this is the introduction of Folio Producer which integrates digital publishing into the workflow, ready to work directly with their Digital Publishing software which is still in beta.

Funny how After Effects manages to break their file format with just a .5 release, they actually have the ability to backsave (just to CS5 LOL) in this version though.
Fucking lazy robbing bastards
- this shits me to tears with indesign and illustrator, flash too. It seems pretty much everythingtOki
- Illustrator can at least save back to any version, Flash saves back to just the last because their cuntsanimatedgif
- after effects can only open and save the current version for some reason, ridiculousanimatedgif

Our entire office was about to upgrade to cs5, seems like we will be going to cs5.5...
Something none of you have noticed is that every single suite is now available on a subscription basis...the pricing on the adobe site is for up to 9 simulatenous licences - but only large agencies would need more than that of any given suite. Volume pricing for small business is expected in mid-may.
Bitch and whine all you want, there is NOT a better unified alternative out there. Adobe got to the top and they are going to be staying there until a serious game changer happens, and even then, they pretty much have the design and related industries by the balls. That said, for what are usually very incremental updates the costs involved can be quite fucking ridiculous...
The jump from cs3 to cs5 photoshop however, pretty huge really.

Subscription thing sounds interesting. But think they have their pricing kinda off.

@toki
I had a look at the subscription-based payments earlier on today. My wife is in need of a copy of one of the design suites (either standard or premium) and we're looking into ways of making that happen.On paper the subscription sounds like a great thing, but the reality is that the cost is pretty high. Over the course of a year, it looks like you pay well over half if not close to three-quarters of the value of the programme/suite and yet you still don't own it.
Personally if I had to fork out that much cash, I'd rather look into financing, and actually own something at the end of it. Atleast that way you can look at the upgrades to CS6/7/8/9/x in the future.
It's true that Adobe have a monopoly, but I'd rather not have it any other way. I remember when Silverlight came out as the 'Flash-killer'... all it meant was another programme to learn when it didn't offer any major advances over Flash. I just wish they'd offer some kind of low-cost finance options to buy the programmes/suites outright.
