Alright as a linux user I am very disatisfied with adobe's handling of linux as
of late.
Its like we linux users dont exist to them, and like most monoplolies Adobe
probably sees us as lower class hacks.
fine then kiss up to microsoft and mac, they have money, and we linux users
money talks to big monopolies like adobe.
Adobe's foss attitude is unwelcome and we linux users are dis satisfied, hasnt
adobe had enough with its super expensive software and terrible tactics?
when will it end?

never I suppose, that much we linuxers can expect out of yet another
monopoly....

own everything, please nobody...

Its not so much the money of Microsoft and Apple .. its that Linux is a VERY
small market. Windows and Mac are where the customers are. You don't spend
all your time fishing in a pond where there aren't many fish. If you choose
to use a less popular operating system, where open source free software is
expected, then part of that decision is knowing that you will NOT have the
same range of commercial software. The question should be .. if you NEED
the sort of products that run on Apple or Windows .. then why are you using
Linux? Maybe you made the wrong choice in operating system given your
requirements? Its like someone buying an obscure mp3 player and complaining
that all the accessories are for iPods.
