Adobe Says PCs Are Preferred
Father Of Free Choice writes "Abobe has picked Windows as the preferred platform for running Photoshop, After Effects, and Illustrator. I don't know how many Mac people this will upset, but given the large hold Apple has on design pros and film, this seems like a bad move on Adobe's part."
eat that steve jobs and your biased testing!
I switched from Mac to Windows several years ago -- mostly because I was tired of paying three times as much for a Mac as a comparably equipped PC cost. I've since moved on to Linux (and good 'ol Gimp), but I can tell you this from past experience -- Photoshop ran faster and with less crashes on a $1000 PC than it did on my $3000 Mac.
I'm all for companies like Apple, but only if they open their OSes up to other hardware platforms.
Every platform switch is money in the bank for Adobe.
Personally, I'm surprised Adobe has kept developing for the Mac (even considering the core Mac demographic are designers/publishers) when the Apple market is so small and Apple itself is so damn difficult to work with. Supporting the Mac has got to be costing Adobe money, considering the development dollars invested compared to the number of installed units out there.
Just my $0.02US...
"my peecee is lucky to get a few hours, IF i don't push it too hard, run too many other things, etc"
ahem...BULLSHIT...
even more FUD...again...jeez too bad to macultists can't come up with anything other than outright LIES...it doesn't help your 'religion'
"Isee it all the time, and you would too,"
I'd see it if it happens,but it doesn't...your FUD isn't gonna change the truth...
" if you werent so cheap that you sacrifice quality in the name of following the crowd. "
following the crowd...from a macultist...priceless...
go drink some of steve's koolaid...
what this says to me is that either you're running Win9x or you're just a complete idiot. I'm leaning towards the latter.
The webpage doesn't say Adobe "prefer" PCs at all, that happens to be a word in the page URL, if the page was pcfish.html it wouldn't mean Adobe thought PCs were fishy now would it. Seems to me all this topic is is a huge troll.
No, it's actually quite true... It's also quite evident that you've never used Photoshop on both platforms... Fucking PC apologist.
Aren't you being a tad bit too optimistic.
FEAR US.
LOOK AT HISTORY
ANYONE WHO HAS TRIED TO OPPOSE US HAVE BEEN CRUSHED AND HUMILIATED
WANT TO PLAY AGAIN, FUCKIN FRENCH MORONS and IRAQI LOSERS
USA! USA! USA!
