That’s the big question on everyone’s mind. What is a CS anyway? Are the included programs really new versions with added features of is it just a gimmick?
Here’s what Adobe has to say about it on their Creative Suite webpage.

Q: What is “CS”?

A: To better reflect the high level of integration between Adobe’s creative professional applications, “CS” is the new version denominator for Adobe’s professional design and layout tools. For example, Photoshop CS is the new, full-upgrade version of Photoshop (instead of Photoshop 8.0). Similarly, Adobe lllustrator® CS replaces Illustrator 11, InDesign® CS replaces InDesign 3.0, and GoLive® CS replaces GoLive 7.0. Adobe Acrobat® 6.0 Professional is the only creative professional application that keeps a version number denominator. Going forward, all of the CS products will always be upgraded on the same schedule.

Huh … the actual feature list is a little thin though. Plus it feels like a bad idea to link the upgrade schedules for these programs. More frequent upgrades would be better.
