Slow on the PC As well -

Our shop had upgraded and bought several copies of MX 2004. the mac folks
threw the sowftware outt about an hour after loading it, the pc folks (me
included in that list) had a better experience but most of us have also
reverted to MX. $2,000 in upgrades that are basically worthless to us.
The machine I have is an AMD Xp 2700+ w/1 gig of ram and it's not usable.
Switching between applications usually results in a 10-15 seconds delay for
dreamweaver to refresh the page and catch up. If you happen to have multiple
development apps open at once, forget it.
This is completely unacceptable.
Anyone who ha been a MM user and has followed the way they have been going
with their product quality/support will tell you they've nearly driven the
product line into the ground.
They've created convoluted upgrade/support/purchase packages and tried to sell
us hype rather than substance (Flex). They've really ignored the programmers
by dropping great products (Homesite+, Coldfusion Studio) expecting us to use
Dreamweaver as a replacement.
I understand that OSX is a different architecture and the programmers that
used to develop for 9.x ned to retool their skills a bit to get up to speed,
but for them to drop the ball on the PC side is unacceptable.
Until then, Dreamweaver MX is what I'll use with most of my time still in
