Adobe CS3 Software Should Drive Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5 Software Purchases
Based on a very recent announcement by Adobe, it is evident that Apple Macintosh users wanting to take advantage of the latest Adobe CS3 software packages will require an operating system upgrade to Apple's "Tiger" 10.4 or "Leopard" 10.5.
In its press release on Thursday, Dec 14, Adobe has listed that the system requirements for Photoshop CS3 Beta are "Mac OS X 10.4.8 or 10.5, 1 GHz PowerPC® G4 or G5 processor, Intel based Macintosh".
As publicised in mainstream media, there appears to be strong opportunities for increased Mac sales in 2007 to Apple's professional and enthusiast web, print and video user markets.
In addition, the system requirements for Adobe's CS3 suite, which includes the key programs Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver and Flash, strongly suggests increased sales of Mac OS X 10.4 as well as Mac OS X 10.5.
Looking at revenue leads for Apple's Mac OS X operating system, Apple is in a win-win position with Adobe's CS3 software. Apple's brand-new "Leopard" 10.5 is not due until "Spring 2007", which is similar to Adobe's CS3 for Macintosh official launch date. Businesses and consumers will have a strong incentive to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4 or 10.5 to be able to take advantage of Adobe's latest offerings. Apple will still be able to sell 10.4 to a large number of users looking for a stable and mature platform to run their applications and Adobe CS3. This upgrade incentive is in place this very moment for users itching to enjoy the latest features of 10.4 as well as Photoshop CS3. Further down the line, sales of Mac OS X 10.5 will be boosted by creative studios and enthusiasts eager to leverage the brand-new operating system and having a speedy and streamlined environment to run Adobe CS3's full range of creative software products.
Mac OS X version 10.4 "Tiger" is the fifth major release of Mac OS X, Apple Computer's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. Tiger was released to the public in April 2005 as the successor to Mac OS X 10.3 "Panther". Some of the new features include a fast searching system called Spotlight, a new version of the Safari web browser, Dashboard, a new 'Unified' theme, and improved support for 64-bit addressing on Power Mac G5s. Tiger is also the first version of any released Apple operating system to work on Macs based on Intel's x86 platform. Six weeks after its official release, Apple had delivered 2 million copies of Tiger, representing 16% of all Mac OS X users. By mid-2006, Apple expects Tiger to account for 50% of the Mac user base. Apple claims that Tiger is the most successful Apple OS release in the company's history.

Thanks, Shaw Wu.

It seems really easy, doesn't it. Except we're not the ones earning $200k a year for basically, summarizing rumours and press releases of the Intarweb.
