Quote: Yeah, looking at the construction of ID, it seemed pretty obvious that FM functionality would be slowly integrated via plug-in (ID is basically nothing more than a plug-in hub - it does almost nothing on it's own) until FM was no longer need…

straight up we don't have rich PDF support, unless you're thinking of printing, which is probably the least interesting way that PDF is used (PDF-X isn't even a "real" Adobe format). Acrobat is excellent for document workflow, and tracking document …

Quote: Don't forget, most PC users don't pay for Adobe products. Even in Hollywood studios there are a lot of facilities that pirate Adobe products...it's a fact. Adobe makes a lot of money with the applications that they still have out on the …

One of the worst things about moving to OSX has been upgrading Adobe apps. Mac users are at the mercy of Adobe right now as it will take a couple of upgrades before things right fast and well on OSX, and an Adobe upgrade doesn't buy what it used to.…

And if MS had patented "Fast User Switching"? What's the point? Can't you already imagine the ass-raping any company who tries this would get in the press and on the net, or do you not remember Amazon and "One-Click."

Quote: Unfortunately that cannot be done for _every_ file type. iWordBrowser, iExcelSpreadsheets, iAllMyPDFs, iHTMLFiles? The concept of a file system is something people just have to _learn_, because although the iApps certainly make it easier t…

With Apple would decide then whether the UI is moving forward or backward or whatever. Desktop is hosed. Either fix it or fsck it. DMGs should open on the Desktop or every other volume in existence should not. Desktop used to be a nice metaphor f…
