We have used GoLive to produce Macs Only! since it was an independent company and the product was called CyberStudio. We downloaded the update, installed it and used it to produce today's edition with no problems.

Adobe GoLive CS2 8.0 has not had particularly favorable reviews because of the number of bugs in it. We have held off on our review until this updater. Look for our "Hands-On" review soon. [Bill Fox]
