Re: Adobe's Roadmap to Heftier Photoshop Bypasses Mac Land

In a heads-up effort that has resulted in a storm of blame, frustration and sometimes outright anger, Adobe's Senior Product Manager for Photoshop John Nack revealed this week on an official Adobe blog that the next version of the product, Photoshop Creative Suite 4, will be available in a 64-bit version only for Windows. Mac OS X users will likely have to wait for CS5 -- or longer -- to have the chance to move beyond a 32-bit version. Die-hard Mac users, of course, were less than thrilled.
I'll spend my money on memory for now...

In another round of feature-itis, Adobe has pushed a product to market without a single *real* innovation. A little Flash in the pan and an integrated interface - big darn deal! There is nothing compelling about an upgrade - particularly for Mac users.
I'll spend my $500 on something I'll enjoy more: like 8GB of RAM so I can continue to use the aging Photoshop CS3...and wait for Adobe to get their 64-bit in one sock.

This is a sadly typical example of the shortsighted thinking that proliferates at virtually every level of bureaucratic structure. Whether you are talking about corporate or government, it simply boggles the mind how oblivious we have become to one of the principal maladies festering beneath the surface.
Specifically, contemporary "management" (a prime example of language devolution) at almost every level is populated by one of three types: the mole; the ostrich; or the gopher.
The mole cannot see beyond his or her own cubicle and/or assumed task; the ostrich is willfully determined to resist change or, even, the concept of exploring change; and the gopher is convinced of only two things: first, if he sticks his head out of the hole he might get noticed and will, inevitably, get his head lopped off; or, alternatively, he refuses to EVER come out of his hole and devotes most of his time to covering his, er, backside.
It seems clear that there are enough of all three types at both Adobe and Apple to account for the "roadmap's" wrong turns.
Makes one wonder: Have any of these people ever heard of the telephone?
