Surfing for information about new applications from Adobe I’ve found some interesting comments from Adobe’s executives that made me believe that there is something between Adobe and Apple.

First: Adobe doesn’t know if its applications will run or will take advantages of Apple new system (Leopard).

“CS3 hasn’t fully been tested under [Mac OS X] Leopard,” Adobe Chief Executive Bruce Chizen told Reuters in an interview. “If it doesn’t work, we will make the necessary adjustments.”

Even in Adobe’s blogs are employees that are taking this matter:read John Nack on Adobe. But the idea is just to buy a software that runs smoothly in you system and Adobe should has been testing it in Leopard or maybe Apple hasn’t sent them a copy? For Adobe is just FUD, giving Apple this favor won’t help them sale more… Please don’t forget that Apple can create Applications or maybe buys Corel.

Second: Adobe considers a big opportunity for its video applications in macs because there is a vulnerability in imovie ‘08. Wow for a company that considers you a second class citizen, shipping you softwares months aways of the Windows version now wants to look as a the savior of the video applications in mac.

You better put your pants on if you want to continue selling late editions of your applications and start treating us (mac users) the way we deserve and please try not to wake up Apple with any graphic suite idea, just see:

Video
Imovie
Final Cut Studio (Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Motion, LiveType, Color, Soundtrack, and Compressor)
Final Cut Pro Express

Photographic
Iphoto
Aperture

What is missing a vectors based application to compete with Illustrator and refining or adding some features to Aperture to match Photoshop, it won’t be easy but if you see the details and the refinements that Apple Numbers brings, it looks amazing and well done, now think this: if Apple can make a crunching number application to shine this way imagine what are they able to do to a graphic suite to compete with somebody that is bashing Apple everyday…

I am waiting…
