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."
It's not like Adobe hadn't hinted at that. How long did it take them to get a decent OS X version of their software out?
A lot faster than getting an OS X version of Quark XPress.
Adobe is just using the superior metric system, which has 100 seconds / minute.
It's "Hello MOTO", not "Goodbye Motorola". Get your consumer jingles right.
and this graph shows that somebody is a fucking retard.
"We were using Motorola processors, and all. And then, like, they stopped improving them and stuff. We were like, Huh??
We had to tell our customers that, you know, 3X the clock speed was only a myth. But they weren't trying to hear that.
That sucked.
Then we, like, lost our market share, and stuff... It was good market share.
Bummer.
My name is Steve Jobs, and I switched to X86."
Yup all hail the graph that touts the wonders of the 100 second minute.
You can snag Darwin from here. There's a lot of $10 no-name ethernet and sound cards that need porting. Get to it.
On behalf of all x86 users out there, thanks in advance! :)
I like big butts and I cannot lie.
I think it's more likely that Apple will release its own line of processors. the iRISC will blow everything away. :-)
Oh, sure, like we expect Adobe to care about correct bar graphs. Like this, for example (actual screen shot).
This is why Adobe failed to make a dent into the business graphic market.
You may think me a tired, old, cynic. I'd have to disagree about the tired bit.
Translation: Apple will always be our adorable little fuzzy niche market. We wuuuuuvvvv you!
Manipulate the moderator system! Mod someone as "overrated" today.
well... I know some people hate america right now, but what does a comparison with China have to do with this article?
It doesn't run more slowly on a Mac, It runs more carefully and with love.
Think different. Avoid adverbs.
The entire theory that Adobe is now "preferring" the PC platform is based on the fact that there's a page called pcpreferred.html on Adobe's site.
:)
Oh, you mean it's
PCpreferred.html
and not
PCPreferred.html
There goes my theory that it was a page set up for referrals to Adobe software by your Primary Care Physician.
I mean, with that math, a person is a total idiot for buying a BMW with 200 horsepower for 35000 over a Camero with 400 Horsepower for 25000. Some people don't understand quality :)
