Speaking of academic pricing, Adobe sets standard academic
prices (which you can see at retail like Academic Superstore
website) but some institutions like Harvard University
negotiate prices individually with manufacturers like Adobe
and Apple. In the case of Harvard, they sell CS4 Design
Standard for $199 and Premium for $299. (But it goes without
saying that their "ID" costs a lot more.)
