If I update to Lion from 10.6.8, will Adobe CS4 "upgrade" work?????

Question

I have Adobe CS4 from an "upgrade".  Will these adobe programs work if I upgrade to Lion?  Please, need an answer ASAP, so I know whether to make my next computer a Mac or a PC!!!!  It is absolutely ridiculous that my friend, who has at least 8 PC computers ( including business computers) is able to use all features of icloud using Win7(which is 16 months old), and I cannot use it on my "Apple" antique using 10.6.8(which is only 9 months old)  (2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) for the same purpose. 
I have never even had a PC, always an Apple product.  Now I get slapped in the face, HARD.  Apple just killed me for EVER buying another Apple computer, if I am unable to use ICloud with my computers which WILL run my adobe products.  I also have an IMac Intel Core duo 3.06, two IPads and a new Iphone.  and now I am done with Apple products I guess, if I have to update to Lion to use ICloud with a computer.  Especially if Lion doesn't support my current expensive suite of CS4(UPGRADE), and other Apps.  What on earth is Apple trying to do, phase out of computers totally? Have a relative who works for Apple, and no one can figure out why the company is so favoring the PC people.  The only thing I can come up with is that Win7 is a far superior program to OS10.6.8, and is likely vastly superior to the current joke of "Lion", and the upcoming "Mountain Lion".  At least Snow Leopards have some dignity, and honesty in their "live" form.  "Lion" is aptly named after an animal widely known for killing and eating cubs of its own species.  Mountain Lions are sneaky, creepy stalkers, who attack suddenly without notice, and kill animals off efficiently and quickly.  Male Mt.Lions also are known to kill the young of their own species, even their own cubs.  I guess these new OS's are aptly named, as they certainly are killing off those who have been faithful to Apple for so long.
I can buy a PC running Win 7, with the speed, programs, etc., that I need, for far less than a new, comparable Mac, which it seems will require me to purchase all new expensive Apps. (Adobe CS+), etc.  
Why is Apple unable to either 1) offer its previously totally faithful adherants the ability to use its ICloud service using 10.6.8, which only came out 9 months ago (while Win 7 and Vista users can use the service easily), or at least make its new OS, work with expensive Apps owned by people, which work on 10.6.8, but will not work, so I hear, on "Lion" (and presumably not on "Mountain Lion" either).   Apple is/has turned into a predator of the worst sort, without a single thought or care about previously faithful customers.   WHY? 
Also, off my wagon and back to my question;  will an "UPGRADE" of Adobe CS4 work with the latest updated "Lion"?  Thanks!

Answer 1

I went to that page.  Basically, it didn't specifically answer my question, or I am too dense to find the answer.  I understand that there are a few problems with Photoshop, which is the main use (of mine).  I could live with what it says.  I also found that there were problems with CS4, and using the brush tool, when I updated to 10.6.8. Found a fix to that by updating my Quicktime.  Why that works, I have no idea.  I am not a computer whiz, in fact at the other end of the spector, but read on a discussion that this updating of Quicktime worked, so tried it, and it did!
This community is a life saver for me.  I live in rural Wyoming (I guess all of Wyoming is rural.....) and no one knows anything about Macs.  All my problems have been solved by you great people!  And I thank you !
My present concern is:  I read somewhere else, that if my version of Photoshop, which is CS4, was purchased as an "upgrade", which it was, then maybe it will not upload to "Lion", as maybe the disk (upgrade), I have, may use Rosetta, which is NOT included in "Lion".   What I have read is that I would have to have a "new" (not an upgrade) version of CS4 in order for it to work with "Lion".   Anyone out there know the answer????  Photoshop users?????
Geniuses????  If you know, please help me out here.  I love my Macs, but really am irritated that the friends I have tried to talk into buying Mac computers, but didn't, now can enjoy all the advantages of ICloud, with an older version of their computer program (Win 7 OR(!!!)  VISTA,  and I cannot !!!!  Here I sit, with my 2 beloved Macs, both fairly new, 2 IPads, a new IPhone, and I am the one that cannot use ICloud??????  Was it in fact made for PC people, who have become Apple consumers through iPhone and iPad, and not made for the faithful, longtime Apple consumers????  HELP!!!!
