Legendary Software
Rating:
I've included a four star rating with this review for the sole reason that the hinges inside my DVD case for this product did not survive shipping. One would think that for software this expensive they could afford a durable DVD case. I actually tried contacting Adobe to see if they would replace the case and they said they would not yield any replacements unless the serial was illegible.
A helpful tidbit of information you may want to consider if the OpenGL features are important to you. The OpenGL features are not as widely compatible as the rest of the software. You may have issues if you are using XP x64 or a graphics card which somehow does not support your combination of OS plus OpenGL drivers. Search Adobe's website to see if your system is up to specs. It's a lot more important for this edition. If your graphics card is more than a couple of years old there is a decent chance that it will not fully support these features.
