Also, keep in mind the article is quoting an engineer NOT from Adobe, but who works with Adobe. Gee, what if this engineer happens to be working on NT solutions for Adobe end users. Do you think his perspective on what it means for Adobe to drop consumer software might be a bit warped regarding Macintosh? I.e., NT, not Macs, are professional machines, so dropping consumer software MUST mean dropping Mac, no? Very poor article, poor attributions, and no due diligence indicated in seeking a response from Adobe. Don't know why SJMercury editors allows cr*p like this to be published...

<<Photoshop and Premiere and After Effects ...These are applications geared not to the consumer market, but to the "professionals" the article indicates Adobe will focus upon.>> If you can buy it through mail order or a retailer like CompUSA, I would say it's a consumer application. People who do design may think their "professionals", but I beg to differ. I see Adobe's definition of professional as those who are using specialized hardware on Sparqs and Solaris. Not consumer electronics such as Mac and PCs. I suspect PhotoShop and such may be spun off into other independent companies. -Bill_H
