There is no OSX update for FreeHand 9. Usually updates are
made for current version.
Concluding from all the posts here there is problems with Mac
compatibility of the latest version FHMX (11). All the Windows
versions of FreeHand still work in WinXP. ;)
In fact there is no Adobe version since FHMX was released
long before the merger and it may the last version of FreeHand. So
if you purchase FHMX you'll get of course 2 point upgrade anyway.

Jukka,
I know there are at times negative comments about MX running
on Tiger, BUT in defense of MX, I think it runs great on Tiger.
There were a few bugs, but nothing that wasn't solved with some
easy workaround. FreeHand runs better under Tiger than QuarkXPress
for me. For example, XPress had trouble making PDF's (at least
version 6) and would quit out when attempting to create a PDF.
FreeHand very rarely quits out on me. I know others here have a lot
of success with FreeHand running under Tiger too. Also, although
some disagree, Adobe did announce there is a maintenance release
this fall, so even if there are still some unresolved problems, the
next update should resolve that.
