What's with all the bitching about Microsoft in an Adobe rant? Maybe a better title would've been "Zed Shaw on what Steve Jobs doesn't approve of"
> Look, I could drag this on, but Adobe fucked themselves over. They actively spent years shitting on everyone at Apple
I remember before Macs became trendy when the primary reason to buy one was to if you did a lot of graphic design work. If I were Adobe and my plan was to actively shit on Apple then i'd withhold Photoshop from Macs before i'd withhold Flash. I don't think Adobe saw much future in the desktop Linux and Mac platforms, which isn't a stretch considering how little market penetration they had at that time. They were wrong, of course, but that doesn't mean they were going out of their way to say fuck you to Apple or actively trying to shit on them. It was a business decision in the same way Apple nixing Flash on the app store is a business decision.
