“I recently suggested that, given Apple and Adobe’s
growing war over iPad and iPhone applications, it would make sense
for Adobe to move not only its end-user applications, but its
Creative Suite development stack to Linux. While I don’t know if
Adobe is considering it, Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu
Linux, would welcome Adobe.

“Gerry Carr, Canonical’s marketing manager told me that “in a
recent survey we did of the Ubuntu User base where we got 32,000
plus responses, Adobe Photoshop as a potential application for
Ubuntu got a 3.52 rating out of 5 being the second most popular
potential app after Skype.””
