I'd vote for cross-platform licenses as well, for all of Adobe's products. I've got a MacBookPro and a PC desktop that I develop on. I'd love to be able to run everything natively on my MacBook, but alas, I sometimes *have* to work on the PC so I have to license all of my Adobe products for Windows. Hell, I'd be willing to pay a minimal up-cost if that was the compromise necessary, i.e. $495 for Flex single-platform, $595 for Flex 2 dual-platform.
But I agree... in the case of Flex, Adobe is leveraging the efforts of the open source community and their porting to an extent, so I don't think 2x cost is warranted. Photoshop, etc., may be another deal... Troy. On 2/7/07, barry.beattie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
