Yes I downloaded it yesterday.
On the download page there is a drop down menu at the top of the page where I chose the extended verison.
But when I installed it, it said there was a problem with 30 day trial. To enter in a serial number, which I don't have yet.
I have it on order. I guess I'll have to wait.

Is there any reason to expect that the trial version may have fewer instalation problems than the standard purchase-up-front version (e.g. maybe it doesn't install 'unnecessary' payloads or maybe there are some undocumented patches that have made there way into this newer release)?

Thats what I want to know too.
I hope so!!

note that previous photohop trials have been notoriously fussy about timing out if you mess with em! once that happens, the only way to reinstall it and get a 30 day demo is to reformat the hard drive.

Dave,
Thanks much for your historical perspective on this (as I have no previous experience with trial versions of Photoshop).
Sounds like you are saying that if I download the trial version and install 'by the book' (i.e. don't make any changes to the install process as discussed elsewhere) I am possibly going to have a problem if I don't purchase/activate the trial within 30 days. The problems that the beta users are having with old installations would seem to be another example of this. I don't want to get into that mess!
So, if I understand it, it would be pointless to get the trial version and I personally might be better off to continue to postpone my purchase of CS3 until I see fewer CS3 posts about installation problems and crashes.

waiting might be wise if it's important for you to run the trial before buying...
what i meant though was that if messed with - especially by changing system clock or trying other ways to circumvent the 30 day use restriction - the trial versions in the past would immediately time out and you'd lose any days left of your 30 day trial.
I don't know if/how some of the fixes presented here (especially futzing with the install package) might affect the trial version vs. the beta.
