Adobe to demo Creative Suite 4 on Sept. 23rd
Adobe will soon put on its first public demonstration of Creative Suite 4, an announcement reads. The company says that on September 23rd, it will air a "special web broadcast," previewing its collection of art-related applications to a worldwide audience. Viewers must however register in advance, and supply an e-mail address, though Adobe says this is only for sending a reminder before the broadcast goes live.

Rumors of the features in CS4 have been confused, but it is known that the first 64-bit version will be exclusive to Windows Vista, relegating Mac users to 32-bit code until a later 64-bit project is complete. Adobe explains that this is because the Mac edition of CS4 -- excluding Lightroom 2 -- has been written in Carbon instead of Cocoa, and only the latter format supports native 64-bit execution. Simultaneous 64-bit launches would thus be too costly to produce, the company has said.
