Better Watch Out Adobe!

Thu, August 27th 2009 at 10:39pm

For a long time Adobe has been my personal favorite source of all design related software from Photoshop to InDesign. The move from Quark 6.5 to InDesign was like night and day. Adobe also has a great community and fanboys that publicize their products to no end. But they are starting to forget that the community made them what they are. Now that they are the “Big Company” on the block it seems that the bottom line is all that matters.

The recent news that they will not support CS3 on Snow Leopard is just another sign, but it has been going on for a long time. For me the first time I noticed it was when I tried to upgrade to Windows Vista 64. Back then CS3 was the newest release and people running Photoshop are the most likely to want more than 4GB’s of RAM that a 64bit OS provides. However first off Adobe Acrobat Pro 8 would not even install without several error messages and trips to the message boards. Once it was installed the PDF printer would not work at all. It took several months for them to release a fix, and to this day CS3 still has some more minor visual bugs that stopped me moving to 64bit Vista. more »
