this is weird revisionism .. Apple's dollar volume many multiples of Adobe. It was Adobe that was in scarcity mode. It was MSFT that was crushing things left and right. I think Apple behaved like predatory jerks in MSFT-envy at times, but the reality it complicated.
- oblio 3y agoIt's not weird revisionism... MacOS was lacking quality apps and was barely hanging on until 1997. Adobe creative apps and Microsoft Office kept MacOS from becoming a toy OS, like Amiga.
- mistrial9 3y ago> MacOS was lacking quality apps this is also spectacular revisionism .. multiple categories of desktop software appeared first on the Macintosh computer i.e. they were invented for mass production on the Macintosh. Photoshop is not the only one like that. What happened quickly was MSFT expanding with contractual license agreements into huge markets and making one of the founders into The World's Richest Man for more than twenty years without fail. MSFT had a famous mistreatment of graphic designers or other commercial artists, in complete opposite to Apple where the creative people thought they were the center of the media world. Some people do not take visual arts, print or the like as anything but "toy", apparently. You are reading type right now. At any rate, there is a saying that says something like "Washington DC, Los Angeles Hollywood, Silicon Valley -- they all have intense inner groups and they all think that they are the center of the world. Of course the world is bigger than that" MSFT delivered desktop computers to the world.
