Photoshop for OS X
MolGOLD writes: "Well, finally OS X users are getting their wish: Adobe has finally made good on their promise to bring native OS X support to their graphical applications. C|Net is running a story on the upcoming version of Photoshop, which will feature native OS X support. Now that Photoshop 7 will run natively under OS X, will we see companies like Macromedia (who also promised native OS X support) hurry along to follow suit?"
Proprietary software gets released for the Apple Macintosh. When there are amazing Free Software projects around the world that are dying for a little publicity, why is news of a proprietary piece of software released by Adobe, a company that has shown contempt for peoples' rights, for Apple Macintoshes, another proprietary system that isn't even targeted at geeks, supposed to interest me?
One more proprietary app down. How many more to go?
I hardly think this is the point.
Sure, PS7 will be available for OSX - availability isn't the problem, suckage is.
Is it gonna suck? THAT's the point. This will be the definitive test for Aqua; I for one don't see Aqua standing up to it.
One things for damn sure, if Apple doesn't fix the mousing in OSX, nobody's going to even ATTEMPT to do grapics work at any resolution greater than 1024*768.
Who the hell modded this flamebait "interesting"?
The Mac *rules* the design world. Every Mac client I have is chomping at the bit for OS X native versions of all their heavy-hitter apps, so they can switch. Limited appeal, my ass! A very sizable chunk of Adobe's revenue comes from their Mac applications-- probably around 35-45%. From a platform that has 5% market share. That's nothing to sneeze at.

I disagree, it should be easy once the GUI-kit of GNUstep is complete which should be later on this year.
Great. Hope I can run it on HURD, which has been complete since the Reagan administration, right?
