Adobe on Linux
Adobe on Linux: Not much new here, but I'm logging it into the blog's archive for reference... NewsForge gets a quote from Adobe's Pam Deziel: "Adobe says demand for its products on Linux is not strong enough for it to act upon, although the company is aware of customer's desires for Linux versions. Pam Deziel, director of platform strategy for Adobe, says that Novell's survey is in line with the company's own internal data. She says that, of Adobe's products, Photoshop is the most requested application for Linux, with Acrobat coming in at a close second. And although she says Adobe does not comment on unannounced products -- and could not reveal whether any of its products are currently being ported to Linux -- Deziel says that the company is 'paying attention to the Linux platform' in its server products, more than in its client software. 'It's an area that we continue to monitor,' Deziel says. 'We make product decisions based on the vector that we see.... [But] we haven't found sufficient business opportunity for offering desktop applications on the Linux platform.'"
