invbiznews.com — ... Allegedly this [Aperture 1.5 release] has so annoyed Adobe, that rumours of threats between the companies have been passed through various ?back channels?. One such threat being that Adobe would consider dropping support for Apple?s new Intel platform products with the upcoming version of Adobe Photoshop CS3.

in all fairness, without adobe's developer support, apple's intel roadmap could be in serious trouble. adobe applications are some of the most important for mac users. and what does apple do? piss on the shoes of one of its biggest supporters by developing a competing app to an adobe project. that's just bad business.

Interesting that when Adobe released Contribute 4 today - it didn't have direct support for the Intel Mac platform - so where's the commitment there?

My second grade son has a better handle on the strategic and economic realities of Adobe than this author. What a truely special piece of lame "analysis".

I know everyone loves a dirty story. But come on. I suggest you read the comments of Adobe Product Manager John Nack <a class="user" href="http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2006/10/aperture_war.html">http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2006/10/aperture_war.html</a>

Clearly 'pimpmypr' your second grade son is indeed a genius. We look forward to his analysis and prose. In reality I suspect the mere fact that you use the word 'lame' puts you into the lower socioeconomic ranking. Very high brow -NOT!

According to this article below it seems that John Nack is in big trouble for lashing out at loyal Mac followers and the Mac press are pretty miffed. The article quotes his latest blog that insults 'Mac Zealots' and suggests they're all insane for not believing the Adobe spin.Not a very sensible man <a class="user" href="http://www.invbiznews.com/wordpress/adobe-manager-hits-out-at-loyal-customers/">http://www.invbiznews.com/wordpress/adobe-manager-hits-out-at-loyal-customers/</a>
