CS2 System Requirements -Mac OSX 10.2.8 - 10.3.8. PowerPC ONLY (G4 or G5 processor) -Windows 2000/Windows XP Intel Pentium III or 4 processor
Share your TIPS and TRICKS here:
Windows 8, set up virtual XP session: XP Mode was designed run in Win7, it has yet to be supported in an official manner by Windows 8. Just download the Win7 utility, extract the Windows XP disk image, rename it, and open it in VirtualBox (free).
Installing on a Win7 64 bit system: Instead of allowing it to install into default folder specified, use: "C:\Progra~2\Adobe", which is where the x86 apps go.
To update the programs once installed: - Change system date to a date before 10/01/2011 - run Adobe updater - download/install updates - then change system date back to current

That is awesome, especially if you have had to buy individual titles and/or a bundle that didn't include everything. You can still do some good work with this stuff!

I could download each program individually or the complete CS2 package.

Well, yeah, sort of? Except the individual downloads can be quite large (one is like 4 gigs), but the "whole package" was less than 2. So, is that whole package truly whole? Or maybe it's just a downloader?

photoshop elements 5 as well, nice and easier to use for basic tasks. Last time I had checked it was like version 2 of elements.
Q. Will Adobe update Adobe Creative Suite , Studio 8, or individual applications, such as Photoshop CS, InDesign CS, Illustrator CS, Dreamweaver 8, Flash Professional 8, or After Effects 7.0, to be Universal applications? A. No, Adobe does not plan to re-release current products as Universal applications that can run natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based systems. This applies to Adobe Creative Suite 2 and Studio 8, as well as individual applications such as Photoshop CS2, InDesign CS2, Illustrator CS2, Acrobat 7.0 Professional, Dreamweaver 8, Flash Professional 8, and After Effects 7.0. Instead, we are focused on delivering the next versions of these products as Universal applications that will run natively on the new Intel-based Mac com- puters. By incorporating the effort to support Intel-based Macs into our normal development process—in which we continue to evolve our product features and support for creative workflows in the ways that our creative customers expect from us—we can deliver optimal value for those customers.

It is a great deal, especially for people with old computers!!
Ummm.. No. Unless you're a professional, these are more than adequate; particularly Photoshop. Even version 6.0 (older still) was an incredibly powerful tool (and still is). For most casual use, this is sweet.

Agree with other posters, for Adobe Pro 8 more than worth it, this will help immensely with digitizing my old paperwork.

Gregmhogan -
I believe CS2 requires a minimum of a PowerPC G4 or G5, but that Intel based Macs are supported also. I've been running older versions (CS1?)on Intel based Macs as well as a CS2 version of InDesign for years. Haven't tried this offer specifically yet however.

Works with Windows 8, so I would say yes.

Nice.
But are you really running a 32-bit OS with 12GB of RAM?

Yeah, I know. I installed the wrong version of 8 on the last FW Win8 deal. I haven't got around to upping it yet.

I'm a professional graphic designer, this is a great deal. I paid over $400 for the student version of CS2 5 years ago. I now use CS6 but 95% of what I do can be done on CS2, though some things are not as quick or convenient.
