most of the reason the original Windows versions of Photoshop were relatively crippled relative to other Windows applications is because it contained a lot of code to work around MacOS problems that didn't exist on Windows. remember allocating memory to applications. Windows never did that. that was the surest sign that the critical innards of those versions of Photoshop were identical.
On the other hand they had to write a colour management system because MS didn't have one. Now GIMP developers appear to be doing the same thing, instead of building it into X where it should be.
Adobe may as well have carried on and written an entire OS for running Photoshop :)
