2.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy this product, January 10, 2004

By 

The Kentuckian "Common Sense" (Independence, Kentucky United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adobe GoLive CS [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

NO Dynamic content. Adobe completely left dynamic content out of this product. The css features are improved. The templates they advertise are only page templates not site templates.
Don't upgrade.
Adobe has completely forgotten the consumer and removed one of the most important features of golive. They could have at least left the features from version 6 in, but didn't. All this is, is a re-design of Golive 4.0
Adobe also expects you to buy third party software if you want dynamic content. Well, this starts at $300 from Zend studios. WHY???

1.0 out of 5 stars GoLive CS 7.01 is my most UNSTABLE application, February 21, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Adobe GoLive CS [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

GoLive CS 7.01 is the most unstable application on my system (100% serious). It crashs when doing very basic things like handling text and using the built in FTP. It crashes all the time. I must admit that version 7.01 is a little more stable than GoLive CS 7.0, but this kind of stablity does not cut it. I had over five GoLive CS 7.01 crashes yesterday (once is too much). GoLive CS 7.01 does nothing for me but cause me rework (constantly) and paranoia of the next impending crash (When will it happen? I promise it will crash). For now I would WARN anyone to steer clear of GoLive CS and wait and see if Adobe is even able to fix this broken or buggy application. The GoLive CS 7.01 code is bad. GoLive CS 7.0 code is even worse.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Buggy Application, July 9, 2004

By 

Dave Pascal "Aeon" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adobe GoLive CS [Old Version] (CD-ROM)

GoLive CS is a very buggy application. Despite running on a very stable Windows XP system (2.8ghz cpu, 2048mb RAM, 2x WD 7200 80gig HD), GoLive repeatedly freezes forcing you to kill the application from the task manager. Additionally, functions within the app such as FTP Browser will freeze or fail when transferring even benign text files or simple HTML files.

This program is very frustrating, has a number of show stopping bugs that are still waiting to be patched and certainly nothing like the quality we have come to expect from an Adobe product.

This product is terrible and should be removed from store shelves immediately.
