It is stated on the Creative Suite pre-order page that there are upgrades only from a pre-CS version of Photoshop. While that is a good start, what about people that own older versions of some or all of the other applications bundled in CS?
For instance, I currently own older versions of Photoshop, Acrobat, Illustrator and GoLive. Each pre-CS Adobe app I own should incrimentally reduce to the cost of the Creative Suite Upgrade. I don’t think it’s a very good business practice to disallow upgrade value for products your customers have purchased in good faith.
Cheating your customers with outrageous upgrade prices and practices for barely improved software will only result in lackluster sales and increases in cracked copies. The economy is in a horrid state and us creative professionals are getting poorer. This is not the time for such foolishness. Give us upgrades we can afford.
