I like the font being used. [end update] Oh and CS3 is definitely on my upgrade list. Perhaps I should cut the leadership at Adobe some slack. (See my &#8220;Waiting for Adobe&#8221; post). But they better make sure that Illustrator is just as useful. Perhaps with multiple page handling? And Acrobat &#8211; please make sure that in your haste to address enterprise markets you don&#8217;t forget us designers and creative folk. Good looking PDFs are important. And are probably more useful then generic server produced PDFs. InDesign &#8211; I&#8217;ve always felt the XML handling was a bit&#8230;under executed. And it would be neat to have built-in support for database publishing&#8230;I know, buy one of the several 3rd party plug-ins available. I&#8217;m just saying that that kind of functionality would be really nice to have built in. But I see good things coming out of Adobe and I am excited that they let the general public get a peak at it&#8217;s flagship product.
