Microsoft Pauses Work on 'Photoshop Killer'

daria42 writes "According to this article, Microsoft has paused development work on some parts of the pro graphics application it first released in beta back in June 2005. The problem? It appears the software giant doesn't see the application as a stand-alone product, but more of a companion piece to its Expression product line. Plus Vista needs to be released first."

  1. But does it work in Linux? by tomstdenis · · Score: -1, Troll

    I dunno why anyone cares. MSFT is so childishly inept.

    If I can forward an X session from a Solaris box through SSH to my $INSERT_OTHER_OS and use the application just fine why would I want to be tied to applications which only work on Windows?

    Besides, everyone knows Macs are for the artisty-foo-foo crowd.

    And besides [again], you know there will be some exploit in the proprietary MSFT only image format they decide to use that will let someone root your box just by looking at a folder with a questionable image in it.
