The good people at Macworld has reviewed Adobe Fireworks CS3 and have given it thumbs up.

If you design and develop Web sites, you can’t afford not to use Fireworks CS3.

See the article here.

Also, Adobe products will be compatible with Leopard.

In the meantime, I am waiting for my copy of Adobe Fireworks CS3 to arrive at my doorstep. I have been using Fireworks 8 for all my tutorials to date, just for your information.

Can anyone highlight any improvements that you find significant?
