Well, it may not be fresh news anymore, but in case you've been living off the grid for the last day, Adobe has announced the launch of Creative Suite 5 for Monday, April 12 at 9:00 am PST.

You can register to be part of the launch by going to this url. You can watch some sneak peek videos there, too. They'll even mark your calendar for you!

Personally, I'm pretty excited to learn what Adobe has in store for us. I use Adobe products daily for business and personal use and it will be cool to see what new goodies they have - and frankly - what they've fixed.

I think Adobe heard loud and clear the dissatisfaction  of their customers with the CS4 release and I think they will have worked hard to address those issues in CS5.

So browse on over to http://cs5launch.adobe.com/ and sign up for the big launch event on April 12. See ya there!

Well, it' been a long time coming, but I'm very happy to hear that the Adobe  Fireworks team is working on a Fireworks CS4 patch to fix the Snow Leopard crash on quit bug, as well as other high priority crash and data loss bugs that they're aware of.

Adobe is expecting to release the update in the second quarter of 2010.

In the meantime, on the Fireworks Team blog, Bruce Bowman is asking all Fireworks users to submit bugs they want addressed, via the Feature Request and Bug Form. The FW team is paying close attention to the bugs filed here. It's very important though, to be as detailed as possible when reporting a bug, so the team can track it down. If you think you've hit on a bug, try to reproduce it and record the steps you took in order to do so. It's also helpful to know what other software was running at the time, and what your hardware configuration is.

I hope this comes as good news for many.
