I use and love InDesign CS3. I've had zero problems with it since
getting it about six months ago. A friend on Windows (XP) is planning to
get it and is apprehensive because of mixed reviews (mostly negative,
according to him). Is there anyone on this group who uses both versions ...

I'm having some major problems with PackageMaker and I have some clues

I've been trying to make sense of the PR and posts concerning
