Adobe gives out its CS2 software for free

Early this year, Adobe decided to lend a helping hand to those who would like to dabble with their software at home, but don't want to deal with "reader" versions or trimmed functionality of trial applications. 

Both Chromebook or Firefox OS won't work here, but if you're on a Mac or Windows, Adobe offers a lot for you:

• Installation instructions

• Mountable deployment packages for Mac and Windows discs

• Extras

• Video training materials

• Installation troubleshooting guides
