Adobe Creative Suite, now with fresher Acrobat

It’s not even July, which means that Adobe beat their original estimate. Adobe Acrobat 9 (now with genuine acrobats) was released, as was the update to the suite containing it, Adobe Creative Suite. But what’s new besides the version numbers (3.3 for the suite)? Fireworks CS3 is now included in the package.
As for Acrobat itself, it now includes the ability to embed Flash video right within the PDF. Terrific. I’m plagued with browser crashing content on every corner of the internet (no, seriously, I really enjoy the ads that are full movie trailers with full autoplay), now my documents can have it too.
Upgrade pricing is the same whether you’re upgrading just Acrobat or the suite, a mere $159. More Flash video, and go.

Seriously, why would you spend money on Adobe Acrobat when you have the mighty, dandy Preview? Flash in documents? What the heck?
I use MS Windows at work and had to ask my boss to get me Acrobat 8. I consistently have issues with it. It's sluggish and a very problematic application. When I go home to my Macs I am loving PDF viewing and editing via Preview. Thank you Apple. Acrobat? blah.
swell, if only they'd fix all the Leopard-related bugs in CS3 first, but no, gotta get CS4 out and book that upgrade revenue... grrr.
