LOOK... Adobe is giving away lots of stuff for free including Photoshop CS2... this is amazing and absolutely true, I've just installed it. They give you a download link and the Serial Numbers to make them work!!!
Gee 
There would be many reasons, some more obvious than others, but who cares. All of it slightly outdated but official versions nevertheless of some of Adobe's finest FOR FREE and I've set the downloader to run the next hour (their download speed is around 250 KB/sec but one can't expect ultrafast download on top of the gifts).
Belated it may but one hell of a Christmas present both from Adobe for letting us have it and from you for posting it, so THANKS A MILLION, MAN, most appreciated!
EDIT: All downloaded smoothly; now I can run legit versions privately even if they are somewhat older than the ones at the office. Thx again for the info/link!
EDIT_II: forgot to mention that all versions were built for Windows® 2000 and Windows XP. Haven't tested yet whether they will run properly on Win7 (I won't put them on my GTL-dedicated XP machine). Anyone know about this? -> works fine
EDIT_III: tested install of Acrobat Reader PRO; everything seemed to work, then near the end the installer asked for the 'AdobePDF.dll from the Windows Vista CD-ROM' and stopped installing.
(Here is an (untested) solution from Adobe, incl. the fix for Win7:

file-adobepdf-dll-needed.html
didn't need this; see below)
I cancelled the request for the dll, install continued, the prog works as is.
