Today, April 12th, Adobe launches  the new Creative Suite! The product revamps PhotoShop, Illustrator, InDesign, DreamWeaver and Flash and it comes with a new feature: Omniture, a tool to track the relative success of different versions of websites, such as a new home page design. The full product, called Master Collection, is priced at $2599 and if you have the predecessor,  its upgrade is $899.
