Dreamweaver CS3

So, I installed DW CS3 and have been using it for a little bit now. My first impression is that there is nothing different. The interface looks identical to DW8. Some of the DW8 interface bugs have even made their way into DW CS3. There is new stuff though; all the Spry pieces, integration into other CS3 apps, and CSS stuff.

Seems to me that a major release should have had more of a dramatic change than this.

Adobe's first offering since buying Macromedia.
I'm sure they've been busy doing a search & replaces.

I get the feeling that may have been the extent of the work.

Absolutely true : nothing new...
Well, nothing new AND useful!

Now we know why there was not much said about the beta. There was very little to actually beta test.

Overall not a lot of changes but the few that have been made are very good (overall).
With Adobe's buyout of InterAKT they have a set of extentions now called developers toolbox, this is real cool stuff. Also the CSS is a lot better now. I was not very impressed to begin with but after playing with it all for a while I like the improvments.

This was exactly the same thing that was said about DW8 when it was released by acromedia in 2005. Except instead of Spry you had CSS. When you compare DW CS3 to DW MX 2004 there really isn't that much difference, specially to the interfaces. Heck I am still suffering a bug from DW 2004 in regards to LAN networking whereby the application freezing when it can't find the testing server it's looking for.
