And they wonder why people are readily moving over to open source software. I'd like to hear what Adobe have to say about this. And I cannot believe they've ditched Homesite now too. I've moved over to Aptana Studio for HTML/CSS/JS dev, it's open source and less clunky than DW CS3.

I suppose there's not much point in Adobe responding to this - since there's no justification, why would they want to open up the debate?
No... better to remain silent.

They're certainly not alone, but this seems like as good a place as any to start...

They have 11 employees on here.. no one from Adobe is going to respond?

As a resident in the US I am annoyed too. Why should my fellow Adobians being treated so badly? If you want build brand loyality you do not price gouge.

As the dollar gains strength against the pound, it's even worse: in some cases, we're now paying more than double the price - pound for dollar - for the same software.

This has sucked for a long time Adobe - why not do something about it?

I live in Finland and I would understand higher price if I would buy localized boxed copy from a store, but don't get it how the basic digital english version can cost me more than an American.

Same for Poland. I was thinking about buying Lightroom and Audition but there's no way I'm going to pay that much penalty just for not living in the US. And that's even for a web download delivery method - oh come on, what's wrong with these people! If they don't want the same money as for US folks from me, they won't get any. Simple as that.

the very reason I'm not bothering with an upgrade to CS4... I'll make do with CS3 thanks.

So Am I allowed by license to buy an american copy from amazon?

Ok, so "Nice Paul reported this problem 15 days ago", "17 people have this problem" and supposedly "9 Adobe employees are ready to listen and respond."

How come there's no response? Anyone get the feeling we're getting the cold shoulder here?

This is very very frustrating. I join the protest.

I would like to add my voice to this. I find this is typical of a lot of US companies (yes I am looking at you Apple)

Very unimpressed... I won't be upgrading this year due to their ripping off of us folk in Europe!

Hi all, well I solved it by thinking sideways - I now use Adobe Elements 6 for mac & Coda. Saved me a fortune & I don't miss anything that Dreamweaver 8. & Adobe Photoshop 6 had (ok, I did miss Mask Layers - but thanks to a Free mod for PSE 6 I now have those back too. Seems like it's badge snobbery almost - its cool to have Photoshop CS whatever & Dreamweaver
too - but you don't need the most expensive tools to do the job. For instance : how come the cheapest car isn't the best selling one? - easy! Coz it's not the coolest or the one people want to be seen in. Keep thinking Sideways!

Can't us UK folk get some nice US folk to buy us a boxed version and then ship it over (digitally or otherwise)?

Thanks for the response. Good luck with the dev. :)

Thanks for the suggestion.

We're doing a lot of work behind the scenes to make tables of data in general, and for Projects in particular, more flexible. We'll be sure to take into account your suggestion.

Job Reference on Projects Summary

Hello, my company would like the option to see the "Invoice Reference / PO Number" field from a project listed as a column on the "Projects Summary" page.

As an alternative, perhaps a user could change what's displayed in the "Project" column on that page. So instead of: "[Client]: [Project or Contract Name]", I could set it to: "[Invoice Reference / PO Number]: [Project or Contract Name]".

It'd help that page be a more useful overview for us.
