Creative Suite 6 and Windows XP

Does anyone know yet if Creative Suite 6 is going to support Windows XP, or is it going to be aimed more at Windows 7?
Aside from whatever feature changes there may be in the individual components, I would purchase CS 5.5 instead of 6 if XP is not going to be supported, or if a significant portion of the new elements of CS 6 are only available on later versions of Windows.
Thanks,
-Danny.

Bob,
I cannot answer your question for anyone else but myself, but the reason I would stay with a 10 year old technology is stability and familiarity.
I don’t upgrade my OS or software to have the latest and greatest. I upgrade only when I’m forced to do so either by developers or as my needs require as dictated by client requests. For the most part, my clients want an end result, on time, on budget and don’t particularly care what tools I use to achieve them.
I used Premiere 4.0 until 2001 before I upgraded to PP1. Used PP1 for almost seven years before upgrading to a used CS 2 (license was legally transferred) and only upgraded that to CS 5.5 when Adobe made an offer that was too good to pass up. It remains in the original box unopened.
I use the 32 bit version of XP Pro. I understand that eventually I will be forced into a 64 bit OS. I will start with a new computer when that happens. Until such time, and so long as my old OS and software continue to allow me to be productive, I’ll stay with the old since from a workflow standpoint, P Pro 2 is more than I need right now. Its old technology that runs on my old OS. All is well.

    BTW the platform swap is for current version of Adobe software only, if you have older version then you may have to look for Cross-platform upgrade.

    CS2 is completely unsupported under Vista and 64 bits adds more problems.
    Best advice is to upgrade. CS5 will be shipping soon.

  • Colour management between creative suite and iPad/iOS

    Does anyone have any insight into colour management for imagery between creative suite and iPad/iOS. ? i.e using the appropriate Proof set up across indesign/photoshop/bridge to as close as you can mimic what you will see on the iPad?
    We're seeing quite radical differences from what we shoot in our studio (which is consistent on all our screens across the studio) to what we see on uploading to iPad. How can we best mimic the iPad colour space?

  • Hi Guys I have asked to transfere my creative suite from windows to mac, no problem, I got the serial number, but I have a windows installation disc how to I get the mac version on my mac computer?

    HI Guys I have recently asked to transfer my Windows creative suite to a Mac computer. I received the serial number but unlike my lightroom install disc, which is win and mac, my Creative Suite disc is windows only, how do I go about installing a Mac version of my creative suite onto the Mac computer?

    I am talking about the Ver 3 download link that came with the purchase email.
    That link is no longer available. Use "Migration Assistant" to copy your Applications from your old mac to the new Mac, then immediately run software update. Aperture Version 3.2 will not run on your new mac with Mavericks, you will have to Upgrade to version 3.4.5 at least - you can download this update from the Support page: Aperture 3.4.5
    Then launch Aperture and enter your registration key and try now too update from version 3.4.5 to 3.5 from the AppStore. The AppStore will change your Aperture registration to an AppStore version, so you will able to reinstall by downloading from the AppSTore in future.
    If you want transfer only Aperture and no other applications, do it manually: You will have to copy not only the application but folders from the libraries as well:
    /Applications/Aperture.app
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/

  • Adobe Creative Suite Development:windows vs mac

    When Adobe develops Creative Suite applications do they develop for the Mac or Windows platform first?

    The builds for both platforms are done in parallel for Windows and MacOS from common source files with underlying libraries serving to differentiate how the programs work on particular platforms. The functionality is effectively the same for both platforms except where the underlying OS may prohibit some type of functionality (such as the Adobe PDF PostScript printer driver instance for MacOS was suddenly prohibited by Apple a few releases of MacOS ago).

  • Creative suite and linux

    I've had it to the eye teeth with Windows. When are we going
    to get a version of creative suite that is compiled for Linux?
    Adobe make a range of products already that run on Linux. WHY CAN'T
    WE GET THE FLAGSHIP...CS3 COMPILED FOR LINUX?
    It strikes me as amazing that Adobe's support for Mac is
    legendary and the latest Mac OS is a flavour of Unix. So why-o-why
    can they not produce a version of creative suite that'll run
    natively on Linux. I'm soo sad.
    :-( Peter

    I'm familier with Linux since 1995, do I have to shift to Mac or Windows to be able to use adobe creative suite ? I believe that installing CS on WINE is not a practical way. I'm very sad too.

  • Switching Adobe Creative Suite from windows to Mac.

    I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 for windows a few years ago. We recently purchased a Mac and I'd like to use it on the Mac. Is there a way to switch computers without having to pay for the whole thing again?

    There is a platform swap process but it only applies to CS6. CS4 is too old to qualify.
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    Unfortunately your options are to:
    Install Windows via Bootcamp or Parallels on the Mac then run CS4 in the virtual Windows environment on the Mac, or
    Buy the full version of CS6, or
    Join the Cloud
