I hear ya. I wonder if it is simply Adobe allocating appropriate  
resources given the market and forecasted profits from an universal  
binary (yin-yang disk).

I also wonder if Adobe is kinda gently slapping Jobs back for his  
Aperture, Final Cut Pro, and Pages... All of which compete at least  
obliquely with Adobe products. A sorta, "well show you how much you  
need us..." move. Which usually backfires in the end, so I doubt that  
is what is going on.
