Not sure how I feel about this. It's from 2005. I definitely wouldn't use CS2 for web design; it will probably lack more recent standards.
I guess it's OK for other types of design, but by now there are several freeware alternatives that are really good, such as GIMP, Scribe and InkScape. I suspect that they easily beat an 8-year-old Adobe product, and I think it's a good idea to support freeware / crowdsourced products.

Be aware that this old suite looks to be only compatible with Windows 2000 and XP. There are some troubles with Vista.

I read this on the french forum where I got the link. (translated with google)
Technically, Adobe CS2 is designed for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Mac OS X PowerPC version. OS X, it is possible to use the software on an x86 machine, provided you do not exceed the grinding 10.6 "Snow Leopard" to the OS.
On Windows, use the following happens without problems on 32-bit versions of the OS, even the most recent. For 64-bit incarnations, it should specify the short name of the folder where you installed the 32-bit software (C: Program Files (x86)).
In general, this will be C: PROGRA ~ 2, but only the command "dir / x" launched from the root of your system drive will allow you to sure.

From ArsTechnica.com:
"Unfortunately, it appears that Adobe wasn't really intending to give out CS2 for everyone. Shortly after news of the apparently free software spread across Twitter on Monday, the download page became unavailable, producing an error instead. Subsequent blog and forum posts indicate that this wasn't an inspired decision to liberate an obsolete but still useful application after all. It was something between a mistake, an error of judgement, and a misunderstanding."
