Hmm. When I raised some concern awhile back about Adobe cancelling Premiere, I was shouted down as an alarmist by many on this forum. "Adobe will never cancel Photoshop" was a line that many shot back with.

Well, consider this: Adobe cancelled the Mac version of FrameMaker - and kept the Solaris version. Do you honestly believe there are more Solaris FrameMaker users than there are Mac users? I doubt it.

Just to clarify - I'm not saying Adobe is going to cancel the Creative Suite for the Mac any time soon, but you can bet your bottom that Adobe is seriously looking at ways to consolidate costs and boost revenue. Cancelling the Mac versions of Premiere and Framemaker did just that.

I just hope that Apple has some good replacements in the que for the day that Adobe cancels some of the more critical Mac apps - Acrobat, GoLive, InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.
