That’s Creative Suite 4 for you non-geeks.

Master Collection will set you back a paltry $2,499.

Time to refinance.

It’s rumored native x64 bit compatibility has made it into this release.  That means each application can use more than 3 gigs of RAM.  Ooh, sweet, sweet RAM.

Except on OSX — you fail.
