According to a Reuters news bulletin published moments ago, Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen refined his March 2006 promise to ship Creative Suite 3 in the 2nd Quarter of 2007. Despite conflicting announcements expected from today’s Adobe Systems, Inc. fourth quarter fiscal 2006 earnings conference call with shareholders, Reuters reports Chizen has having stated that Adobe will ship “the biggest release in Adobe’s history” at the end of 2Q2007, which could be as late as June.

The initial release will English versions of Creative Suite 3 and CS3-versioned applications, with non-English language versions expected in the third fiscal quarter.
