> This technique can be used to find out some of the softwares installed on your system. For example I can say that you probably don't have Adobe Creative Suite installed.

Sorry, I have CS3 installed and fully licensed. But still a nice demo.



Presumably they're looking at installed fonts to see if you have Adobe CS, so what did you do with the fonts that would fox this?

I'm guessing you're on Mac OSX? Can you have fonts available that aren't apparent to the browser somehow?


If cubiq is right it doesn't check for my old version. It's pretty much a vanilla install on OSX.


the demo checks CS4 and CS5
