Disappointed with Vista - buying a Mac

[Mark H]

Hi Daren - no, if that's something other than the normal upgrade route I don't know about it - got a link?

Nope, but give them a call.

If you owned a previous carnation (such as CS2) then you can request an upsell upgrade...

eg if you owned PS CS2 you could "upgrade" to DP CS3 for £999.99 ex vat (saves 3-400 squid) and so on.

Studio was the previous carnation to WP IMHO so it 'should' applt to this to.

Give Adobe UK a call mate and tell them you have the full license key to Studio...then say, how mucho for CS3 Web Premium.

If you shop around, ebuyer etc the key phrase you are looking for is UPSELL not UPGRADE.

Thanks for the info Daren - I'll certainly look into that, although the tight*rse bit of me still has a problem with paying more for a software upgrade than the computer it runs on!

*coughs, eyes water a bit*

includes "Boot Camp" ability to boot up in OSX or Windows

"or" is the key word Mark. You can boot to either one whereas running a VM such as Parallels lets you have your Windows apps open on the same desktop as your Mac apps.

So long as you file things in the right places then you can easily get at files from both OSs.

Only one drawback is the DW extension won't work (or at least I can't get it to) but what the hell in only just works with CS3 anyway

[Mark H]

You're right - I think Parallels is the favourite at the moment, but the Boot Camp option would useful for other things (I have one or two favourite people, age 4 and 8) who are being taught in a Windows environment at school, who might want to use the Mac at weekends.
