Why Is Adobe’s Creative Solutions Business Slowing?

It is clear that the downturn is due to the upcoming CS4 launch. Last year at this time, CS3 was still relatively new, and early in the upgrade cycle. Boxed software, especially CS always has a sagging tail at the end of the product cycle. CS3 is almost 18 months old, and with CS4 about to come out (within days) who in their right mind would spend the money to upgrade to CS3, only to have to spend again to upgrade to CS4 in the future, especially when CS1 and CS2 to CS 4 upgrades are supported.
