Adobe Creative Suite 2.0
…is due early next year, apparently whether ready or not:
Creative Suite 2.0 will include a new version of Illustrator (presumably 12.0, but possibly 11.5 ) code-named Zodiac, a new version of Photoshop (again, likely 9.0, but possibly 8.5) code-named Space Monkey, a new version of InDesign (either 4.0 or 3.5) code-named FireDrake, and GoLive 8.0, code-named Reloaded. It’s unclear at this point whether Adobe plans to tie Acrobat 7.0, code-named Vegas, into the CS suite or will keep it largely as a stand-alone product included with CS Premium. Sources indicate that Acrobat 7.0 is separately slated for release by year’s end.
“This is part of the calendar-driven upgrade cycle, as opposed to the feature-driven cycle,” one source commented, regarding Creative Suite 2.0. “It’s like printing money, regardless of the quality of new features, or lack thereof.”

Ok, quick poll here. Everyone in my office has the same problem with InDesign. If you try to create a new document, InDesign crashes unless you happen to have another document open (that’s our workaround). Anyone else have this problem?
Not here.
Probably meanlingless question: does it matter whether the computer is hooked to the network?
Good point Giles, we are always connected to the network. I’ll have to try it whilst disconnected (not that that would help much, since we all work off of our server).
