I've used GIMP. It is IMO utter rubbish compared to photoshop, but thats what you get when you pay. I find the textures on GIMP unprofessional.

I think you will have to pay. You had to Pay for CS4.

So go buy the textures. That has nothing to do with the power and ability of the package. But, most people who use the package only know how to use that package.

I was at the product brief yesterday, some really awesome changes happening. My favourite is non XP support.

AE, IL and PS require a 64bit CPU and Vista or 7 64bit to run, if u don't have X64 then it installs the CS4 versions and u loose out on all the CS5 features of those app's.

Stock will be here by second week May provided there are no show stoppers in the RTM.

For any1 wanting to buy i see Cyburbia has them all on special for the launch Cyburbia Adobe CS5 Pricing is already up too and they look cheaper than CS4, but CS4 is no longer listed on that site.

"My favourite is non XP support." - so it cant be installed on windows xp?

"AE, IL and PS require a 64bit CPU and Vista or 7 64bit to run, if u don't have X64 then it installs the CS4 versions and u loose out on all the CS5 features of those app's." - do you need to be running a 64 bit version of your os or will just having a 64 bit compatible cpu and a x86 windows OS suffice?

AE, IL and PS as well as all the suites bundled with them will only work on 64bit Vista or 7, the other 32bit stand alone applications and Design Standard suite will still work on XP and 32bit version of vista and 7.
If you install say Design Premium on a 32bit operating system Photoshop CS4 will be installed instead of CS5, Photoshop CS5 is native 64bit and CS4 is its 32bit alternative.
Using Design premium on a 32bit machine means you loose all of the CS5 features of Photoshop as it will be installing CS4, same goes with Illustrator and After Effects.

Almost all Processors since P4 if i am correct is 64bit ready, all Core2Duo and Quads as well as the Pentium D and Celeron Dual Cores are all 64bit ready.

If you are still using Windows XP you will not be able to use Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects as stand alone products. You will still be able to use the other applications like Dreamweaver
