I wanted to switch the license platforms from Windows to Mac, however, I just got off the phone with Adobe and they told me since they do not sell CS3 any longer, I would have to Upgrade to CS4 to switch Platforms for a cost of $500 dollars. 30D | Canon 70-200 f/4 L | Canon 24-105 f/4 L | Canon 580EX II and 500 DG Super

Sure the software is very very good and we all depend on it but to just switch systems you would think there would be another cheaper way.

I don't hate macs or OSX, I hate people and statements that portray them as better than anything else. Macs are A solution, not THE solution. Get a good desktop i7 with Windows 7 and come tell me that sucks for photo or video editing.
