Doing as well by whose standards? Yours? Are you over there managing and building the product that earns as much money as Photoshop does and is used by tens of millions of people across the globe, many as the basis of their entire livelihood? And the measure of success here is a year? A whole year to wait for a native build! Heaven forbid that Adobe have a lot of other things all happening at the same time than to drop everything already into the pipeline to make sure that a native OS X version of Photoshop could ship immediately after OS X ships. > Apple has built accessibility into their OS.

If you are implying that OS X has adequate accessibility functionality, then I presume you also believe the lawsuit on Target.com is baseless since OS X obviously does what's needed to help anyone using the Mac deal with the web on the computer itself. -- Andrei Herasimchuk Principal, Involution Studios innovating the digital world e.
