adobe does have some mistakes in their ui but i think thats a bit dramatic...cs3 really wasn't THAT bad...as for the patches and stuff it sounds like this guy had something wrong with his computer. i hate the automatic adobe upgrades as much as the next guy, but 1hour45min to apply a 58mb patch I don't really think is adobes fault.

I'd have to agree. I've been using CS3 heavily for a few years now, and have installed it on 3 computers during that time. The UI doesn't get in my way, and my install experience has been fine, considering its actually installing 8 programs.
