Seems pretty straight forward to me. Corporate America is hurting and they are reigning in costs, which includes things that can be delayed like software upgrades. CS3 works just fine. Yeah, CS4 might be more snazzy and might help your devs be more productive, but if you are having a hard time bringing in new work then your incremental productivity doesn't matter as much and you're better off reducing short term cash outlay.
I suspect that sales will recover as the general business environment recovers and/or when things settle down to the point that companies are spending on a schedule again (even at a reduced level) rather than the current cash hording position.
