I'm a think Adobe feels a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of new users who would have automatically belonged to them a few years ago suddenly noticed the GIMP, and a mighty revenue stream disappeared forever. I have come to see The Desktop Is Dead as more of a campaign slogan in support of killing the desktop than a prediction or observation about the market. Software As A Service guarantees 100% vendor lock-in and assures full vendor access to all users' personal data, all the time: Handcuffs and total surveillance guarantee more revenue, so if possible, the desktop must be killed. I'm sure Adobe sees the logic in this, and of course Google is leading the charge... I don't think that will work out for them. Most users want at least some control over their computers some of the time, and laws of physics issues assure that tablets can not compete with workstations on the application performance front. But then again, I'm may be "too old to know anything" about computers and such. :o) Steve -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.14 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJUKvtbAAoJEDZ0Gg87KR0LRj8P/2jVkskfA23J5BcRza5MxTYk G7iiRfe+ZcF9u3CJeeXoJHGi+FN88nRnlyIJZas4b34WQbQslZ11s1YbIULdLYzQ 9hBj/bk0o/ad/OwVh7OR+4TXXc7Lb3b8Ak52YoO29DiPll0IHRKZczAWPZ8Ow6+H i36p8otYaoV/PhIBXh7UJDYRDekj7+9IytT+xtfxiDgxKYCP/akveA6ry0NL0Sg0 7zfBkmHIwFF6eeQ80dEc5kNQ8auf6c2VpCWS+vjvANqzXRpzwvdAODQkbVWJRv88 pTCneA4wP0tcphynzlNCRS4wxgs51Y1YcKgeGgUdL0iqCiPLtt19xHN1of0XNExk 91jPapbEXYVfzR3gJ8x1ZoUsrP0WCFB86SNEPE9GP4Jdxa059pU2avLKquTCOWbI dMGmqDR+XswgdWCuasOnlPt7ypJjCQbHIZt3fdBaG2BksUlvV8+i4LrxtKgWie5w kRQXg7JaY62XscUp+22nJpNLeEgAXlFLtBlul++Y9CM7Ww3mS8z7GQ57sRiwfQAE uK8U1RW0Ctd0i+wNb6yDIeHAcpaZPL+NAkWkTlJZhoLE7Fd9LHsgT+3LpeCPqLOI hrZrzE4To2LUiqtyMxwHZF6EuMPl0Fe3Cn46sS4UghuoKwszAIF7KV36KCtVBOIt BaNsmamz9kCges35KOY7 =Yf5n -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
