I've just posted my long awaited review of the recently released Adobe Illustrator 9 software. If you want to know what's new in this major release or if you're on the look for the most powerful vectore drawing software of the world, be sure to read our comprehensive review. Below is a snippet from it:

Graphic enthusiasts have been waiting for an exciting new product to be released on the market. No, I�m not talking about a new video game relating the adventures of a sulphuric and sexy heroin but about Adobe Illustrator. Indeed the long awaited new version of the highest used program to create vector-based pictures is available at last. Adobe, the worldwide leader of graphic designing software since 1982, has recently unleashed this new version of the beloved designing program used by millions of graphic designers worldwide, based on their feedback. Enhancements are more than numerous in this ninth release promising many new ways of use especially by empowering users to create Internet graphics or animations that will surely be beautiful if the artist is as good as the software. Illustrator is a key Adobe software product that positions the company in the press and art designing markets: every newspaper and printer use at least one version of Illustrator to create layouts, design logos, create drawings, edit Postscript files, open existing Illustrator files, etc. This position gave Adobe a clear leadership in the graphic world for a long time: the days where they weren�t sure if they�ll convert their top notch Macintosh applications to Windows are now clearly over and the question hopefully doesn�t hit their mind anymore.
