Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Standard
Adobe CS4 Web Standard includes a game-changing update to Flash ; with spruced-up dynamic design shortcuts Dreamweaver in Fireworks, and improved integration among their similar interfaces
Adobe CS4 Web Standard doesn't include Photoshop and Illustrator ; heavy-duty applications take long to install, are hard to learn, and hog resources ; costly personal tech support
Adobe CS4 Web Standard serves interactive designers who don't have to edit images, but many will find Web Premium a better deal for bundling Photoshop and Illustrator for $500 more.

Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard
Adobe CS4 Design Standard includes InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat 9 at a discount compared with their individual sticker prices ; features improved integration among their similar interfaces
Updates to Photoshop and InDesign don't justify the upgrade for most users ; heavy-duty applications take long to install, are hard to learn, and hog resources ; costly personal technical support
Adobe CS4 Design Standard serves designers who edit digital images and layouts for print, but many will find Design Premium a better deal for bundling the interactive potential of Flash, Dreamweaver, and Fireworks for $400 more.

"Worst and most expensive customer support available"
Adobe charges to uninstall previous versions....
Once the software is installed, it works reasonably well. Components have similar work spaces -- and they integrate reasonably well
Heaven help the person who needs customer support. Licensing does not install nor uninstall easily because of the activation tags placed on ALL components
"Nice idea but crashes often & updates fail to install"
Don't upgrade from CS3 if you have it. Looks ...
Integration between adobe applications is terrific when it works
Frequent crashes - lost work - disgraceful considering how much this software costs
"Love/Hate relationship with Adobe"
It's wonderful that Adobe software is the industry standard so that if I have to move to Timbuktu I'll be able to hit the ground running in any company or agency, but
I want to gouge my own (possibly one or two biz people at Adobe) eyes out every time I see the price of the software
