"For the first time ever, Adobe is delivering a widely available Photoshop CS3 beta to enable customers to more easily transition to the latest hardware platforms, particularly Apple's new Intel based systems. The beta is available as a Universal Binary for the Macintosh platform as well for Microsoft Windows XP and Windows Vista computers, with the final shipping release of Adobe Photoshop CS3 planned for spring 2007."

For those who do not want to be locked into Apple's proprietary hardware, 'Zune' devices have now been released to retail stores. These look like very nice devices for music, pictures, and video. They are also reported to play nice with both Microsoft and Apple files. I feel like I may regret purchasing an iPod, now that my freedom has been shown to be limited - but that is a personal issue.

I also find that I have a greater appreciation for both the security software designers job and for the web site designers / administrators who must take this kind of thing into account. Not to mention normal users like myself who just want a fun tool to work with. A silent war is rag...
Due to the upcoming (this Sunday - March 11, 2007) daylight savings time observance changes, I thought it prudent to post a link to the Microsoft page that has information and an interactive download wizard to help users update their Windows operating systems and calendaring applications. No sense in being late to a meeting if it could have been avoided. There is not much else to add.
After wondering about whether Adobe would offer Vista patches to the current Adobe CS2 programs with Adobe CS3 so close to release, some light has been brought to the subject. Unfortunately, the light will be in the form of the new Creative Suite 3 for many of the Adobe point programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere, etc. You can use the main link to go to the support site, where you will see a link for a '.pdf' file addressing the question of Adobe products and Vista sup...
