Isn't it technically Adobe CS4?
... not being a dick, seriuos question.

Adobe is the parent company and Photoshop is the product name and CS 4 is the version
Kind of like it's a Chevrolet Corvette ZR 1
It's Adobe Photoshop CS4

yeah there are different packages for the whole CS 4 thing, they include the photoshop, flash, dreamweaver, illustrator, and a bunch of other things depending on what you need them for.
Cheap Software - Titan! - 03-20-2009
Yeah, you can buy photoshop, dreamweaver, flash, fireworks, etc by themselves or you can buy them in bundles depending on what you're looking for
I have Adobe Web Premium CS3 and it included Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Bridge, Illustrator, Indesign, and Flash all for one price
There are other bundles available

yeah, i have had my eye on the web premium and a side of indesign.
I have been looking into starting a web based business for a while, just don't have the support i need and it kind of kills the motivation i have had for it.

Cheap Software - zdunklee - 03-20-2009
Correction, you are susposed to have the legal version, you don't need it. It will help you avoid a lawsuit to have the legal one.
...I don't own a single piece of legal software...
However, if you are a student and want some legal versions of microsoft software for free here ya go: https://www.dreamspark.com/default.aspx

you can split hairs if you want. business is business.
as far as getting the software by other means... been there done that. meh i used to have so much stuff that i never even used it and the things i did use barley got used once. Went into the FTPs and IRC rooms and the pubs not to mention even a newsgroup. There were a lot of other means too with S2k at the time and all of that. There are very few programs that are truly worthwhile. Besides with torrents out there now it is so much easier.
but as far as these programs go you will definitely need the real versions if you don't want your business to get royally screwed. It would just be the smarter way to go.

For most business it would be the smarter way to go. (unless you want software that isn't sold to the general public like GM's techline software that they distribute to all their dealers and tells you how to fix 99% of all possible problems with their cars
)

well leaked software is a different creature. Betas and things like that are always fun to play with. its just the whole warez scene gets boring.
Cheap Software - zdunklee - 03-20-2009
I only use it for things I actually use, like the CS4 Master Suite, which is effing sweet btw...
Also if you are interested in programming at all or web design, then DreamSpark that I linked above is the place to go.

I absolutely refuse to trust my work to pirated software

Microsoft Office 2007 for $60.
You can also get Vista Ultimate for $64 (now that it's not nearly as buggy). I've heard good things from the RC1 testers on Windows 7, so maybe you want to wait for that.
