I reiterate: Adobe had 1.5 years advance notice. Apple made available

So what you are saying is that it is Adobe's job to rewrite software
that is already on the market to pander to a computer maker's broken new
OS?
i think the argument(s) here is(are) a bit confused; first of all it's
about installers, not apps; second, CS3 runs well on Mac OS X 10.6,
Adobe has a technote that confirms this:
<http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/512/cpsid_51215.html>
third, yes, new OS versions will sometimes break four-year-old
installers -- it took me no time to find someone with a similar
complaint for Windows 7:
<http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows-7/40175-windows-7-wont-install-adobe-cs3.html>
(and it still proves nothing)
fourth, if you don't want to run a newer OS version, you don't have to;
choicephiles take note
finally, this is all premised on some blogger who vaguely described his
ordeal after upgrading his OS; he didn't say _how_ he upgraded, which
makes a big difference with apps like Adobe's that litter the disk with
encrypted activation files and background processes that check for
various thing; he didn't necessarily even have to reinstall to solve the
problem, but then he says the CS3 installer asked for the CS4 disk --
whaaa??... there's not enough clear info in that blog post to support
any conclusion
