Adobe has released details on their Web site for the Creative Suite 5, rather than repeat everything here is a link to the page with all the details. Flash Catalyst makes it into the suite along with Flash Builder 4 standard, note that I did say standard and not premium. I do take issue with Adobe wanting us to pay another $499 for upgrading to Flash Builder premium, to me that is just grabbing $'s from people because they can, and given the layoff's Adobe claimed were due to poor CS4 sales last year, I have to wonder what CS5 will do for employee count give the upgrade pricing. Other nice features are perspective drawing in Illustrator, code editor improvements in Flash Professional and CSS inspection improvements in Dreamweaver. And let us not forget 64bit which actually will make a difference as people upgrade their OS's on both platforms.
