Adobe discontinues GoLive “Adobe has discontinued sales and development of its Web design software GoLive in favor of Dreamweaver, which it acquired as part of its Macromedia purchase.

As I’ve said before, don’t count any application in or out in Adobe’s eyes if they have a competing product offering. But back in March 2006, Adobe did say they plan to continue to support GoLive and FreeHand. Continuing to support and continuing development are two very different things.

Well, it’s pretty much official. As John Nack has posted on his blog, FreeHand will no longer be updated, if you haven’t already it’s now time to move over to Illustrator:
Adobe does not plan to develop and deliver any new feature-based releases of FreeHand, or to deliver patches or updates for new operating systems or hardware. Adobe will, however, continue to sell FreeHand MX, and will offer technical and customer support according to our support policies.

Well, I was under the impression that CS3 wasn’t shipping until the end of this month. So it’s good to wake up today and see Adobe has released all the CS3 editions (except for the Production Suite, which will ship Q307).
Following last month’s launch, Adobe today announced the immediate availability of the highly-anticipated Creative Suite 3 Design Premium and Standard editions and Creative Suite 3 Web Premium and Standard editions.

Visit Adobe’s Creative Suite 3 section to learn more about the new features and what’s included in each edition. There’s even a handy Product Selector to help you decide which of the six editions is right for your needs.
