Customer Rating:
Summary: Great tool for designers!
Comment: Adobe Illustrator CS3 upgrade works great for me as a graphic designer. I am able to save and open the most recent file types as well as the previous file types. The new addition of the collapsible tool bars works great and really clears up the previously cluttered screen space. Now I have more screen area to see what I am actually working on. CS3 also adds new intuitive ways to organize your color swatches. Also, I haven't had any program crash occurances since I have installed the new CS3. This program is a MUST for Professional and new designers alike to create high quality vector images.

Summary: High Learning Curve but Fantastic
Comment: This is the standard vector graphics program in the world - bar none. It takes quite a bit of time to master the program and then once you master the program, you have to be a artist to truly do some of the phenomenal stuff out there. I'll never master this product but I can't imagine working without it.
On the upgrade from CS2:
- It went very smoothly for me.
- The addition of collapsing panels really makes me getting to my desktop much easier even if you're a TAB hide or ALT TAB hide type person like me.
- There are numerous little refinements to the product.
- Would I upgrade? for the collapsing panels, I think its worth it but other than that, don't know if there's a ton more to the CS3 version.
- Slicing is the same, graphing is the same, pretty much same tools.
- A few enhancements on transparency etc but nothing to sing home about.
- You get the nice extra CD which contains some helpful tutorials for the CS3 line
Cons:
1) horrible licensing arrangement. You get 1 primary and a backup installation. I happen to have 5 computers at home that I sometimes use and I had to purchase a second license eventhough I'm the only one who uses them and I still have a computer that doesn't have it. Microsoft's Licensing agreement for Office and Windows is much more flexible and reasonable to the modern home user....I mean work laptop, home laptop, home desktop and basement den desktop (not unreasonable right?)....maybe I'm just a nerd.
2) CS3 does lock up a bit more and crash a bit more than my CS2 - but then again, I'm running it on Windows (no mac jokes please) ... although I hear its the same codebase for CS3. Don't know --- my experience is that its slightly less stable than CS2 eventhough I do keep up with the patches
So why 5 stars? Its an indispensable tool that is so far ahead of the competition that frankly its silly to discuss anything else.
Bought from Amazon -- 5 star service there.

Summary: AI CS3
Comment: I am not happy with the service on this order.
The first product shipment did not work. When I called to get a replacement I was told I would be shipped the replacementAI CS3 software by expedited method and it came regular delivery. I was also promised a coupon for money off my next Amazon order which I never received.
