Since I rarely update while in the middle of a project, I was (as you can see above) a few versions behind with Premiere, After Effects, and Audition. This is what my most frequently used Adobe apps looked like before the new update.

I like my apps in certain orders, and I want to open them at a glance so I can immediately get to work (or, you know, open up a browser and waste all my time before realizing I’ve lost half a day). I’m a PC user, and my taskbar is a pretty sacred place.
