Linux While I was trawling through Net Applications' operating system share trend data for the past 24 months, something struck me. June 08 marked a big month for Linux. The OS saw the largest increase in market share for the whole 2 year period - a growth of 0.12%.

I wonder if 150,000 letters, say, to Adobe, might make a point. In theory, it should not be impossible to get 150,000 people to send a postal letter to Adobe asking for a Linux version.

If for Mac OSX they are reluctantly write release for Intel architecture, I wonder why should they write release for Linux?

Well, I think you're being far to generous for Adobes Windows gear. They seem to be reluctant to write decent software for those 'pesky end users'. I would love to see these people work in customer service and have them realise that it is the customer who pays their wage - not some magical entity called a 'corporation'.

Believe me, I've worked in companies with apparently very smart people who can't seem to work out who actually pays their wage. I think maybe if the people at Adobe realised it, then they would treat their customers a whole lot better.
