Q: Does the Adobe suit for Mac also work on windows computers?

I am looking to buy the creative suit for my mac, but i just want to make sure it also works on windows. All it says on the box is CSS

A:

Yes. CSS will work on both OS X and Windows. But you must have the correct version for each.

So if you are going to run CSS on both a Mac and a PC, you are going to have to purchase two copies, one for the Mac and one for the PC.

Adobe produces the creative suite for either Mac or Windows.

The code for one platfrom will not run on the other if that is what you are asking.

No

Applications are written either for OS X or Windows. So an application for the OS X will not work on Windows nor will one written for Windows work on OS X.

The output from CSS is interchangable between the platforms. That I can vouch for because I have done that.

I am sorry I didn't pick up on the fact that you were refering to output in your original question.
