There will be issues. Adobe has listed issues on CS 5.5 (works mostly) and CS 2 (won't work at all). A more detailed listing is not yet available. If you want to install Lion and use CS 3, your best bet is to use a test machine as you are guarenteed to have problems. The only questions is how many and how bad. If you cannot afford a test machine or an external hard drive, you cannot afford Lion, since if your business goes down a recovery may take an extended time.

I made this mistake, and had a devil of a time escaping since my download of Lion of corrupted into the bargain. Lion does not look like a winner to me at the present hour.
