According to Macworld UK, Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen on Friday
repeated his earlier statement that the company has no plans to release a universal binary of Photoshop for Mactel
owners until CS3 ships next Spring. Until then, PS users will have to suffer with Rosetta, or hold off on upgrades.
Since Apple hasn't moved any the high-end machines creative Core Duo yet (and why? The G5 Quad is still in its
infancy), this really isn't as big a deal as some people have made it out to be, although early MacBook Pro adopters
are undoubtedly disappointed. On the one had, it does seem like Adobe is ignoring Mac users, but by the time
Adobe's real core constituency--creative professionals--have high-power Apple Intel workstations available to them and
start to make the switch, CS3 will be just around the corner, if not rolling off the presses.In other news, Chizen did promise a universal binary of Acrobat 8 when it ships in the fall, and restated Adobe's commitment to OS X, despite speculation that Boot Camp might be a disincentive to developers.
