The on-going campaign to persuade Adobe to release (at least parts) of their ‘Creative Suite’ software on Linux is beginning to resemble a game of tic-tac-toe: One second it appears to be going one way and then, slam, a big fat ‘X’ falls down, and the game is off in a different direction.

Adobe’s Carey Burgess, having earlier this year said that Creative suite for Linux was ‘definitely on the[ir] engineers radar’ has, once again,� taken to Adobe’s Get Satisfaction page to give Linux users an update on the situation.

Only this time things are not quite as optimistic sounding as before, with Burgess saying: –

Adobe does not currently have any plans to release Creative Suite on Linux.

Of course, this isn’t actually “news” at all; Adobe never said Creative Suite was Linux bound only that engineers were aware of the demand from Linux users.

And that is still the case: you’re making your voices heard and Adobe are listening.
