i can't vouch for the dude on the blog (are those raspberry seedlings in the grass a metaphor for software packages that don't mix?) -- something is wrong with his description because there's no way the InDesign CS3 installer would ask him for the Photoshop CS4 disk -- maybe something else on his machine asked for it, but not the CS3 installer

but from long experience, and confirmed by the experience of many others with whom i correspond on InDesign and Mac OS X lists, Adobe has among the worst Mac installers of any major software distributor

citation please, or it's balderdash; best i can find is a 2002 study that says Mac users (then, at least) were richer and better educated

Does it really matter?

Seventy-five percent of statistics on the internet are made up on the spot anyway.
