I received an email from a work colleague today letting me know that Adobe are now giving away Adobe Creative Suite 2 (CS2) for free. His email mentioned that I might need to register an account to download the software but I followed his link and downloaded the software (about 1.9GB) for free.

Downloading the software took about 10 minutes but we have a super-fast Internet connection at work. Absolutely no registration or payment required!

Here’s a screenshot of the web page I downloaded from:
