All "CS" versions are limp programs. Stay with 7.01.

Umm.. the CS versions are not "limp" programs.

Photoshop CS is next version of Photoshop (ie Photoshop v8)
This link http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/newfeatures.html will give you some of the new features in CS.

Which version should you get? Well, 7 is still a very capable program. You can download a trial version of Photoshop CS (http://www.adobe.com/products/tryadobe/main.jsp#product=39) and see which one you like better.

There not really much difference. CS is evolutionary so you won't be missing out a whole lot if you stick to 7.01.

Yeah, I have a friend who is a graphic designer and she only found a couple of reasons to upgrade. Obviously, she does very advanced work with the app and so I don't see the necessity of CS unless you are advanced with design or image manipulation.

well of the top ten feature list from the link, the ones i like the most are the improved file brower (dont remember if that top section was in 7) and Integrated digital camera raw file support.

whats the price diff between the two copies? youll probably do fine with PS7
