The new version of CS is coming out and with that there is an offline and "online" version. I am interested in the online version, it gives the whole suite (every program in the master collection) plus a bunch that will only be available in the online package. The cost is small enough that it wont hurt the wallet in the short term. In the long term you end up paying more, especially if you just to the month to month plan. From what I read, you just need to be online every 30 days for the suite to check on the reg-key and you can use the product for another 30 days.
