I suspect Adobe wants to convince Linux users that their online Photoshop version is the way to go.

Mind you, desktop Photoshop needs a major re-design from the bottom up (to go 64bit, get rid of their hand-rolled internal virtual memory management, etc) so doing a Linux build as part of that would be an easy thing to add. Then again, they've claimed they see no need for any of that. But a major rewrite with a Linux version that just "falls out" of the process is really the only way I see that happening.

Sounds good. I look forward to future releases from them. Maybe they can get Flash, Photoshop, Fireworks, Director, Illustrator, and more into Linux and really make a multimedia development suite for Linux.

The thing I really want to see on linux is a solid NLE. Sony Vegas is the only real app that I still boot into windows for. Harumph.
