For those who don't know, Adobe released their creative suite CS2 for FREE. This includes illustrator and photoshop.

Don't believe me? Go to the adobe website and check it out!

EDIT: There's a lot of miscommunication happening... I'm still going to assume CS2 is free until I see some official statement from Adobe, put directly on the Adobe website or their downloads. Their end-user agreement says nothing that supports what is being said by staff on the forums.

Look at two posts above you

Seriously don't clutter up these type of threads with extras. I think Lightworks has been mentioned already as well.
