Just launched Photoshop CS on my laptop, with a firewire drive on it. Rarely do I have Photoshop and an external drive running.
Adobe noticed that my system config had changed with the addition of the external firewire drive, and forced me to re-register, which couldn't be done over the web, it had to be done via phone. Their phone system had a glitch, so I had to wait for a customer service rep. That took an additional 15 minutes because it's Sunday. All told, this stupid system configuration sniffer cost me more than 30 minutes in work time, not to mention the mental frustration of losing the idea in the first place. And of course, I was in a hurry to get this concept down in digital anyway...
While I love Photoshop, this SUCKS!
Anyone else dealt with this frustration?

I agree with Tom. I too build web sites and Fireworks MX 2004 is a killer web graphics program but it works wonderfully in video jobs. I only use Photoshop for photo enhancement/correction.

CS is a LOT more powerful than 7. I'll leave it at that.

Ok, so I'm going to ask again for my own curiosity - what is it about PSCS that makes it better than 7?

I'll follow up the question also. I have fallen in love with 7 (as much as anyone can fall in love with software, that is). At first an upgrade to CS seemed warranted...but, since I'm really coming up to speed with 7....I need to know real world differences to CS.

So...what gives??
