I was at the Adobe Creative Suite 3 launch in Bangalore on Thursday (Yes, it took them so long). I liked the event, there was nothing extraordinary about it but it was nice …. I really liked how they had put an Indian touch to the whole event (music demos and stuff) and did not just present their International campaign, this shows they are really interested.

The Creative Suite 3 of course is just Awesome!! The demos were awe inspiring and well presented (especially the ones by Rajesh Patil) … great job guys! … One interesting thing that I noticed about these products was the intelligent use of some really innovative UI Components/Controls. Adobe has put a lot of thought/research into what the users really want and need and this effort truly deserves appreciation. read more
