One thing I've noticed is that DW8 seems a tad bit slower at rendering then MX2004, could be just me but I've noticed it so far. Flash 8 font rendering THANK GOD!!! - I love the new anti alias settings for the fonts but I still havent tested whether they fixed the pixel font problem (blurry text if its not on a whole pixel number like 425.3 or 425.8 instead of 425). Flash 8 Video Encoder - Easy to use but the power lies in Flash 8 when you import the .flv video. Havent tried Fireworks 8 yet Im not a big FW fan and prefer Photoshop.
