I reiterate: Adobe had 1.5 years advance notice. Apple made available

break
under undisclosed circumstances.
So what you are saying is that it is Adobe's job to rewrite software
that is already on the market to pander to a computer maker's broken
new OS?
How about the OS maker ensuring that their system is compliant with
what is already on the market?
That's stupid.
Adobe knew they would be coming out with a new version of CS that
would work fine under OS 10.6, and opted to NOT do a minor upgrade to
their legacy products, forcing their clients to spend the money for
the upgrade to a major new version.
Apple knew that re-writing the OS to contain much more machine
language and operate more efficiently would drop a lot of developers
out at first. It's like OS 10.5 was written to run on many legacy
Macs, and on the Dual Core IBM chips as well. 10.6 will only run on
the newer Macs, and do NOT have all the crap in them that lets it run
on much older non-IBM Macs.
Bottom line: The major OSs are written for speed and efficiency. The
software developers that design programs to run under those OSs must
comply with the platform they choose to write for.
