    If I were at Adobe I think I'd consider pulling support for CS4/5 on the Mac. I wonder how much impact that would have. Ultimately, overtime if you couldn't get PS/Illustrator etc on a Mac as software tools of the trade many people would end up on a PC, since software is software and although the OS is important I use the software place on an OS.
    I doubt this would happen as Adobe probably sell a lot of units to Mac users, but I really think if it was my company I would be seeing Job's statement as a "shot across the bows" which I'd want to respond to eventually.
    If you're a designer and you use Adobe products on a Mac I just sense that Apple are begging to push the loyalty button, perhaps a little too hard now.

    • That is an interesting point. I would move back to a PC if that were the case.harmsie
    • It's strictly hypothetical, at this pint. Nonetheless, were that to happen, I'd have no trouble moving my work to Windows, as long as CS4/5 works.Continuity

    • sorry really bad typing in that but hope you get my meaningjohnnnnyh
