Hmm...I wonder if your favorite product isn't available on MS, if all
that needs to happen is for MS to give that companies product some money
or engineering help. How many of you that desire an updated Acrobat
have actually talked to Adobe?
The fact of the matter is a new Solaris x86 Acrobat Reader has been
asked for and help offered from the top down.
Every product has resource limitations, check the list of "improvements"
that didn't make OSX or Vista.

Subject: Re: [SunRay-Users] PDF issues on x86
has anyone heard if Adobe plans to port reader to x86? The initial
response I got was from a Sun employee and not very nice and told me
Sun has nothing to do with it
I believe all it takes is for Sun to offer Adobe some resources, ie
money and/or engineering help.
Same thing with Mathworks and Matlab.
I think the fact that this is not happening reflects Suns current
business model which is starving the desktop component of their
business. We see it in the pace of development on Sunray, where we are
continually told on this list that the group has to choose between a
variety of needed improvements because of resource limitations. At the
same time Sun has not put out a competitive Sparc workstation in 5 years.
I fear Sun is only interested in low hanging fruit in the desktop
segment. This is not a moral indictment. It just reflects what they
think their optimal business strategy is. I happen to think they are
wrong. At least in our academic setting, our enthusiasm for Sun server
products is related to the viability of their desktop offerings.
