For those who have tried the beta of Dreamweaver MX

[gopunk]

is it just me or does it run really slowly? i hope it's not my computer...

 

[Adul]

still havent got the MX versions yet.

 

[gopunk]

bump

 

[notfred]

you realize that developers typically leave all the debugging code in beta versions of applications, and it makes them slower?

 

[kgraeme]

Each version has run progressively slower. It's not just you.

yes i know, but i have a new hd and a new install of xp, and was just making sure that there wasn't something wrong with it.

 

[gopunk]

any other opinions? i've seen other people talk about mx so i know people are using it...

Try running another non-beta app so see how slow it is instead of testing the speed of your new system with unfinished software

why run mx? i just use dreamweaver 4 and it works great for me.

It's pretty fast here, i like the MX, finally less floating panels. (i hated it)

The floating pallets are great! I always use them. All the new macromedia and adobe programs are using it extensively now. Matter of fact, Macromedia sued when another company tried to use it (and lost).

I thought that Adobe sued Macromedia and won.

photoshop runs just as good as it did before... 6.0 opens in about 7 seconds... not sure if that is good or bad

It's really slow.

It runs fine for me, but I run it on some nice PCs (Dual 933 Xeon & a Tbird @ 1.4).

hmm i'm running a T-bird 1.4. grr. any ideas as to what is wrong? any drivers xp doesn't do right so you have to do it yourself?

 

[dude]

blarb! Yes, you're right. I just got so mixed up over it all because they both sued each other for all sorts of infringements.

Doesn't matter, the floating pallettes are still here to stay. They just look and feel slightly different, that's all.

Yeah, I'm just a little worried that it is replacing ColdFusion Studio.

i think there is a coldfusion mx out, so you won't have to worry about that for at least one generation

ColdFusion MX is the server product. Which looks absolutely fantastic! Studio was their Homesite on steroids for CF developers.
