I'm downloading the beta now but a question for any Creative Suite users, have you had any luck getting CS apps to work when installed anywhere else but /applications on Mac? I have multiple users on this mac and only want CS to be usable for one user. I've moved the apps into ~/applications but updates break. :/ Also, Is it just me or do any other Mac users get infuriated with their folder/app structure?

Adobe's complete disrespect for your file system is legendary.

And to make the experience even worse, if you move the 7 useless folders in say /Applications into something like /Applications/Adobe (that you never use anyway), their software updater breaks all over the place.

It's a hack, but if you have XCode installed, you can outright hide the directories.
