Adobe CS4 Design Premium

I purchased an upgrade to my existing web and design toolkit from Adobe this week - primarily of course because it didn't work very well on Vista (CS2 that is - I couldn't do 'save as' in Dreamweaver it would just close straight away). So I happily installed it last night - but low and behold Vista didn't let it install properly because of user access / administration access. Which is all a bit odd as I have the User Account turned off (I needed to do this for Actinic) and also tried a reinstall by right clicking the autorun and install as administrator. I shall see tonight how unsuccessful it was as I wasn't left with any time to actually use the software.

I think it is fair to say the Vista nanny state access is doing my head in - this is on top of my problems with my network 1TB hdd.

Whilst I was waiting for my two DVD set to install, I decided to fire up my old PC with its blank disk in it. I put a downloaded copy of Ubuntu Linux on to a CD and into the blank PC and low and behold it was installed and up and running within about 10 minutes I think. I had a look at it - user friendly, straight on to my network and access the Internet through Firefox and quick as you like.

Perfect for the children if nothing else.
