I've been using the 30 day trial of Photoshop CS3 and hate it so I've just been using it to open PSDs that Fireworks can't handle. To be honest I've hated all versions of Photoshop that I've used. I always end up going back to my trusty version of Fireworks MX (or the 30 day trial of Fw CS3!).
For me handling graphics is just something I have to do as part of the job. I don't enjoy it and have no interest in learning anymore about it than I need to
September would be good. I'm aiming for a new laptop around then so will be moving to an all Vista environment and I don't believe Fw MX will install on Vista. We'll just have to see what happens...
