One last update before Snow Leopard... Let's hope they all get rewritten in Cocoa the next time around.

They still make these, what did you call it, 'Pro tools'? Seriously, these have been getting pretty stale relative to the compelling integration that Adobe is doing now.

I remember reading in several threads a while ago that MacRumors tries to get the more "interesting" stories (confirmed or not) on the front page and the less interesting (even if they are confirmed) on page 2. That's mass media for you.

As for the updates, I don't really use them. But if it makes using these apps easier/better for those people who do, yay!

Having been to Adobe's CS4 UK tour and been able to try it out (Premier Pro, Sound Booth etc) I still prefer Final Cut Studio.

However, I loved Adobe Bridge - that is a really cool application. Their CS4 suite is full of awesome features, I just find it a bit bloaty to use. Even in their demo's on the high-end iMac the video playback in Sound Booth was rubbish because he had Photoshop and Premier Pro running.

Only advantage of Adobe CS4 is it is multi-platform.

I have Logic 8 Express and this update isn't showing for me in Software Update. Is this not for Logic Express users?

Express versions are the cut down consumer versions of the Pro apps. They get different updates.

right, except someone with Logic Studio above is saying the update isn't showing up for them either?

also, the last time a "Pro Apps Update" came from Apple few months ago, it showed up in Software Update for me...
