Illustrator CS4 and Bridge

Question

You can now launch Bridge from within illustrator CS4, but how do you benefit from it? Unlike when using Photoshop, double-clicking a file opens that image in PS, what would be the workflow for using it with illustrator. I don't see a purpose.

Basically - don't use Bridge and Drive until the patch is released. Best to use the mounted VC server directly in the OS and applications.
From the tech note...
As we were preparing to ship Creative Suite 4, we discovered serious issues that need to be addressed so that customers will have an optimal experience using Version Cue CS4. Because of these issues, we temporarily disabled access to Version Cue from Adobe Bridge CS4. In mid-November, we plan to release a patch for Version Cue CS4 that will fix those issues and re-enable Version Cue CS4 in Bridge.
We recommend evaluating and implementing Version Cue in production workflows when the patch becomes available. However, you can set up a managed workflow today using the new Adobe Drive. If you will be using Adobe Drive with Version Cue in a production workflow, be aware of some issues you may encounter, which are detailed on our Version Cue Support Center at www.adobe.com/support/versioncue.
Note: To check availability of the patch in mid November, please visit the Version Cue Support Center at www.adobe.com/support/versioncue or run Adobe Update Manager (choose Help > Updates in any CS4 application).
