Sweet! I might be able to get some use out of this. :)

Oh wait, does anyone know if it'll work on Windows 8? I'm assuming I'll just need to run it in compatibility mode for XP, but there probably is extra steps needed.

Because it's still a very powerful image editor, even if it is a little old. Age doesn't take away from the features it has, and what it has is far more than almost all free alternatives, and more than even most comercial alternatives.

Hmmm - it appears it doesn't like something with Win 8 even under Compatibility mode:

You will need to change the install location - I took out the (x86) part and it moved on.

Nice. I'll have to grab this...eventually, even though I already have a copy of CS3, which I got from school. Looks like the download site is down right now.

This is awesome of them. Even without Content Aware from CS3, CS2 is an amazing image editor.
You mean CS5, not CS3.

It's well worth it for what you get, you can use all of their software and services, receive 20gb space, the software has 'extra's exclusive to creative cloud members such as CSS export in PS. I managed to get it a little cheaper on student discount but i would still be happy to pay the full amount.
