Adobe has second-classed its Mac business because the big sales are on the Wintel side. Adobes Wintel apps always ship first these days. You miss the point in any case. Fewer seats mean less market. It is simple arithmetic. If you want to nail blame somewhere, blame Apple. When Apple had the only GUI in town, they charged so much for their machines that anybody that did not need PageMaker was hard pressed to justify the price.
