| We may still be in the middle of summer, but those forward-looking woodpeckers at Kaspersky have already launched 2009 editions of their antivirus and internet security packages. We looked at Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 last week, and found it was as capable as ever at detecting malware - though the simpler interface has a few confusing niggles. |

| InDesign is the central application in Adobe's publishing vision, taking text and images and combining them as multiple page publications ready for output on paper and screen. |

| Over the years Illustrator has become almost as dominant for vector handling as Photoshop has for pixel manipulation. The program has never quite inspired the same devotion as Adobe's flagship product, however. |

| So what's changed? There's relatively little new in terms of general image analysis apart from the improved Count tool, which allows for multiple series, but the volume-based rendering and cross-sectional handling of DICOM images will be appreciated in medical scenarios.

| The power and range offered across the board in Adobe's new Creative Suite 4 is undeniable, but what about the value? Here it's difficult to see past the UK pricing rip-off. |

| It's easy to forget these days, but Adobe began life developing software and fonts for imagesetting machines. Things have moved on considerably since these humble beginnings, but Adobe's core focus and strength remains in publishing. |

| Poor old Microsoft. It's spent the six months since the release of Internet Explorer 8 beta 1 beavering away, only for the company's arch nemesis Google to steal all the headlines with its first ever browser, Chrome . |

| With Dreamweaver CS4's focus on CSS-based design and JavaScript-based interactivity it's easy to forget that what end users are really interested in is content. Here Dreamweaver's hand-crafted approach to web page production has a fundamental flaw - it just isn't scalable to funnel all web content through a single central designer. |

| Adobe is clearly not a big fan of the numbers five and six. The previous version of Premiere Elements was four, but the latest iteration has skipped directly to seven. This is mainly to bring it in line with the longer-running Photoshop Elements 7, with which Premiere Elements is frequently bundled. But the leap to seven also indicates Adobe thinks this version has earned the right to be considered as mature as its image-editing sibling. |
