So you still do that in 64bit, there is just a 2nd folder for the older 32bit aps, i said i store things like my documents, music etc on another drive so that when formatting the only data i loose are temp files and program files that i would have to re-install anyway.
There biggest market consists of client who are sick of waiting, before starting with CS5 they went through to most of their registered clients across the globe asking what they would like to see in a future release and the only answer that every single client gave was "more speed" every single client wanted to do things faster, wanted the applications to process faster and have tools that allowed to achieve goals faster, every client who bought a licence copy, IE all the companies, design firms, schools/colleges/universities are registered with adobe so they had a list that count for about 80% of their client base as they cannot track retail box sales unless the client willingly registers.
You are probably the only person who says i will rather wait as opposed to moving forward, but again these programs are not your bread and butter, so lack of speed has no affect on your ability to pay your rent, buy your food and clothe yourself, for a designer that 64bit quad core system with 4gb+ ram is their life's blood it along with adobe pays their rent, food and other living expenses so for them speed is everything, the sooner a job is done the sooner you can get paid. Even if they charge for there work on an hourly rate it may end at less money per client, but you end up with more clients.
Its like choosing a bicycle over a car because the car goes too fast, the 21st centuary so far has all been about speed, we have gone from single core computers to 6 cores in only a few years with 12 cores in research and intel having just released 48 core server chips for beta testing, cellphones now have built in gpu's, cars are faster, the internet is faster, everything is about speed and going forward, going faster, yet you prefer the lack of speed.
Honestly, why should they cater for the 1, 2, 10 in a million that are too stubborn to upgrade to 64bit, that are too stubborn to move tot he present, CD5 was a complete rebuild, i think it was 85mil lines of code across the 14 applications, CS5 was not an upgrade or a build up from CS4, they started at byte 0 and worked from there speeding up old features, putting the new ones and ultimately proving a much greater performing application that leaves an over all smaller footprint on the system when compared to HDD, RAM and CPU usage of the older version, if they had to create the market pointless 32bit version so that the stubborn 1% could wait longer for the same thing to happen it would of set the launch back months and for what, it has no financial benefit to them and those that are happy to wait are welcome to stick with CS4, live in the past and do things the old fashioned way while the rest of the world leaves them in their dust.
