Is the Development Toolkit a good replacement of Kollection 3? The Adobe
website doesn't go into much detail about what it includes...all I want
is a list of extensions that it comes with, not just some general blurb
about what it can do. I need specifics...something the Adobe website lacks.

I was an Interakt customer with Kollection 3 & I didn't receive an email with the offer of a free or cheaper upgrade - even after chasing them up on the matter & them saying they would have the deal ready in July 07.

One big mess.............they won - I just had to pay the money and paid out again.

All good fun.

You have to be a serious conspiracy theorist to believe that this was done
on purpose, I think.

Not compatible but whether they actually designed it that way on
purpose or it just happened, I don't know. It is a bummer to many
who had many Interakt extensions including Kollection.

Every owner of Kollection3 was suppose to have received an email
from Adobe giving them a very limited time to get the toolkit free.
If you never received the email but was an owner, I'd contact Adobe
and see if they would extend the offer to you.

MX Kollection was indeed not compatible with Dreamweaver CS3, so something had to be done

existing owners of Kollection were eligible for a free upgrade -- and ADDT´s sales price for new customers is approx. the same as they would have paid for MX Kollection

Shinny new bells was just too much for me to resist. Adobe knows this.

Unless you need the new Spry features and enhanced CSS features, there
is no reason why you can't continue using DW8 for years to come...its
the same beast but with a few more bells thrown on. There will always be
people here to help you out in times of need.
