Isn't Adobe coming out with a Linux/Unix version of Photo Shop and Illustrator? My biggest gripe is my favorite game (Age of Empire) will not run on Linux or any of the emulators very well.

Nah, it'll be a while before adobe makes it's flagship products for linux. The token acrobat reader is just that. A token, a test.

Linux'll have to gain more than it's 2 or so % userbase before adobe will invest the kind of money needed. I'd say linux would need at least 5 %, as we already have GIMP. Chances are they see us... not as pirates.... but as cheapskates.(which technically, they're probably right)

I don't deny that photoshop is better. But for it's +600 price tag.... it isn't that good.

It's playable.

Often times I've heard people say that windows games play smoother on linux. I find this ironic.
