I find I use PWP 95% of the time. About the only time I use PS (7) is 
for the healing brush. I didn't realize that Adobe had taken up the MS 
model. Another good reason for not spending the bucks for CS.

You think Adobe is bad - wait till MS releases "Longhorn" the next 
windows incarnation. It looks like that the license will expire on a 
yearly basis and you will have to go out, download the updated OS and 
pay a license fee or else it will self destruct. That is you won't own 
it - you will only own use of it for a period and they you have to pay 
up or lose it.

I don't think I'm going to upgrade.

We imitate our masters only because we are not yet masters ourselves, 
and only

because in doing so we learn the truth about what cannot be imitated.
