![]() If have seen Microsoft slowly reducing the quality of their own home versions of their software. Then trying for the whim of the home user. If they loose some of the home market to keep a strong business market where they can get large volume sales on a regular basis. It is free R&D for them, and the home sector is more filled with those filthy pirates, as well home users don’t do a good enough job securing there system making windows look bad. ![]() Microsoft has probably seen the move to Intel, as a larger threat to its enterprise market so they cripple Office to make sure Apples don’t spread that far. They offer enough for it to be useful in business but it is not the best platform for everyone. Apple itself tends distant itself from corporate enterprise sector so it doesn’t get the full brunt of Microsoft Wrath. I know this is not a present day machine, however, I do believe the impact might get even bigger for applications like CS 3 in the future… I stripped my iTunes 7.02 of the Intel bits for running on an older mac at home, and it cut down the memory usage by 40% and at the same time lowering cpu usage considerably. To support this expanded development effort, Adobe plans to transition its Apple development process from Metrowerks CodeWarrior to Apple’s Xcode, a high-performance UNIX-based development environment that can support a universal binary wrapper on two binaries- one for systems based on Intel processors and one for systems based on PowerPC processors.Īnd concerning the splitting up of binaries into Intel and Power PC specific versions, I do believe there might be some performance issues to look at. ![]() Adobe expects to support both PowerPC® and Intel microprocessors with future versions of its Mac OS applications, including Adobe Creative Suite, Photoshop®, Illustrator®, InDesign®, GoLive®, Acrobat® Professional, InCopy®, and other Adobe applications. ![]() How does this affect Adobe’s product development plans?Ī. ![]() Well, to judge from this blog entry by Mark Niemann Ross, although 14 months old, it seems like Xcode is the tool of choice: Maybe Adobe is using something other than Xcode for Acrobat, like for Photoshop (since Xcode hasn’t been the best IDE available to them in the past). ![]()
