I'm probably a bit late with this but I finally caved in and bought the upgrade from CS4 to CS5 and thought I would share a couple of thoughts on my upgrade experience on a Mac.
1) De-install CS4 first (unless you want to keep it of course)
I installed CS5 and then when I had downloaded the updates and installed my plug-ins and tested it etc. I de-installed CS4, this broke CS5 and I had to do it all again.
2) CS5 installs Growl without telling you, this is very bad on Adobes part :mad2: You do not need Growl installed for CS5 to run, it is used purely to remind you of Adobe offers etc. You can de-install it safely from the OSX Systems Preferences Panel if you don't require it.
I have nothing against Growl, I have used it in the past but I do not expect Adobe to install 3rd party software on my system without telling me.
I never used Bridge in CS4 but the Mini Bridge in CS5 is awesome.
Now I'm off to watch many hours of Lynda.com training videos with Chris Orwig, he can be a tad annoying at certain junctures!
