Hm. So you think they should, after going the distance to update GoLive to a version that fits the Creative Suite 3 very well, tell potential upgraders to stay away from it, because you "might feel it sucks"? Do you _really_ expect them to?

That Adobe was going with Dreamweaver instead of GoLive was talked about since the Adobe/Macromedia takeover/merger. It was clear about 8-12 months before the release of GoLive 9. The inclusion of Dreamweaver in Adobe's Creative Suite 3 should have been more than a hint, it should have made it _abundantly_ clear.

Adobe offers you a downloadable demo version you could've used for 30 days. EXACTLY what you did with the version you bought.

I'm not sure, but personally, I feel that Adobe played fair alright here. They haven't been naughty, you've acted without thinking things over clearly.

That said, I have my own gripes with Adobe nowadays, and I also don't feel like GoLive 9 is what it should've been. Then again I don't need it much nowadays (in any version).
