what if...
what if adobe would stop developing for mac os x soon?
are there any chances of apple developing software such as photoshop or indesign?
what if microsoft would stop developing for mac os x soon?
are there any chances of apple developing an own office-application?
while there have been several rumors of apples' office-software and keynote could be a first step into that direction, i personally think that adobe stopping mac-development is probably the thing which is more likely?!? so. what would apple do?

I imagine a serious effort by people to get the GIMP running with native aqua widgets might make sense...

yeah - and that's the point... apple goes with
garage band, logic express and logic pro
iMovie, final cut express and final cut pro
idvd, dvd studio pro
iphoto, ?
how difficult would it be for apple to develop a very very very good photoshop-level application? in case they need to do so....
I think Apple needs to create an apple office suite. They cannot entertain the idea of offering a compelling business solution using microsoft tools that don't adequately utilize the benefits of the platform.

good thought. me too thinks that an apple-developed office suite will be much of a good thing™ to everyone. it'll show how simple it could be.
