Adobe Moving Toward Linux?
Posted by James Fee in "NEWS" @ 08:00 AM
"Adobe has largely been on the sidelines of efforts to boost Linux for desktop computers, the vast majority of which run Microsoft Windows. The software maker is now taking a more active role by joining a prominent Linux consortium, working to improve Linux and planning to lead its own open-source development projects, CNET News.com has learned. Two job postings reveal some of the company's intentions. Adobe wants to hire a director of Linux market development to "identify and evaluate strategies for Adobe in the Linux and open-source desktop market" and to identify projects that "will help improve Linux as a desktop environment." The employee also will "develop strong business relationships with leading Linux distributors and partners."
Nothing is certain, but this might be the first step to seeing Photoshop on Linux. Adobe could also be looking at leveraging open source projects with the exisitng products.
