Need Help With CS6 for Windows 8.

[JoeBiz]

Hi Folks

Does anyone know if CS6 works with Windows 8? Actually I'd prefer CS5 or CS4. I keep hearing about problems people are having with CS6 and Win 8. I REALLY don't want to spend $700 on CS6 if it's not going to work. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks Much
Charles

As per the the adobe CS6 FAQ:

Adobe is currently planning to support Creative Suite 6 on the next version of Windows. As Microsoft releases more specific details about the next version of Windows, we may adjust our plans.

Thanks Eric! You went way beyond the call of duty. And you helped me decide to go with CS6. It runs around $700 and most people are asking close to that price for boxed versions of CS4 and CS5.

So CS6 it is.

Thanks again,
Charles
