"Windows."
This is, as you suspect (or already know), a derisive term for a product that I and millions of other Windows users think is most worthy of derision. Hi Davoud: OK, _now_ I understand, thanks. I guess I don't spend much time agonizing over computer Operating systems. If a machine will run Word, Skytools, Registax and internet software, I don't give much of a flip. But I must say "Doze" or "Windoze" looks and sounds just a little silly--to me anyway. Why not just say "Windows 98" or whatever? Oh, I guess I STILL don't get it. ;-) Peace, Rod Mollise Author of _Choosing and Using a Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope_ Like SCTs and MCTs? Check-out sct-user, the mailing list for CAT fanciers!

I can do a lot better than to repeat a false assertion from an unnamed source -- and I did do a lot better. It was not a false assertion. I was passing on an assessment made by someone I know at Adobe, who I happen to believe has an accurate handle on things there. I'm not going to say who, since the official line has clearly been given by your source. Obviously, if Adobe is looking to get away from supporting Macs they aren't going to advertise it in advance, especially if they currently have an agreement in place with Apple. That's all I'm going to say about this. The thread has drifted way too far from its origin, a reasonable discussion of scientific image processing software available for Macs. _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com |

Oh, I guess I STILL don't get it. ;-) Heh. For an astronomical analogy, consider Scott McPherson, a known Celestron basher. For Scott, Meade is a religion - this extreme bias makes him completely unable to say anything positive about Celestron, no matter what Celestron does. If Celestron produced a goto Dob, he would say it was the worst thing ever. If it was by Meade, it would of course be the best thing since sliced bread. I guess The Shawn would consider it a serious mental illness. :-) |

You must have missed part of this thread. Mr. Peterson published an
assertion and cited the source as an anonymous Adobe employee. Didn't miss a lick. I have been following the thread. I knew that the assertion was false, but I had no proof. My proof came from a long-time Photoshop engineer, Chris Cox, who was willing to sign the information that he provided. Look at the PS credits and you will see Chris Cox's name there. Looking for someone to give you the answer you want to hear might be proof for you but I am a few steps down road and it doesn't look so sure fire to me. I can do a lot better than to repeat a false assertion from an unnamed source -- and I did do a lot better. Davoud Well, as I said, over the years I have found what Chris has posted to be accurate, to me that is worth a great deal. I have also been around long enough to know that Inside Scoops are not something that someone will sign their name to. To the contrary, I am quite aware that insiders will generally stick with the company line when confronted when they are making a public statement. You want to get the truth, don't ask someone to sign their name to it..... The bottomline here is that I really don't care one way or the other but if I were a betting man, I would bet on Chris. He was just passing along some skuttle-butt he had heard. Time will tell. jon |

The bottom line is that Chris' source has already proven to be wrong... John- I invite you to go back and read again what I posted. Nobody has been "proven" right or wrong. All my friend said was that Adobe had planned on making V6 the last to support the Mac, but that Apple had cut a deal to get support for some additional time. She told me this _after_ V7 was released... it was not a prediction. Her current opinion (I won't call it a prediction) is that V8 may be the last to provide native Mac support. There is really nothing that can be proven or disproven with the information currently available. Time will tell. _________________________________________________ Chris L Peterson Cloudbait Observatory http://www.cloudbait.com |
