Re: Upcoming CS5 will be 64 bit, no port to 32 bit Plugins (Customer Service Comments)

This is what happens when companies get so big. They forget how they got there. Adobe has made some big strides in the past few years. We all know their strengths...but their weaknesses are beginning to show. Being more interested in what the cost would be to them, "instead of the cost it would be to their customers".

Excellent observation... the total disregard for a 32bit and 64bit compatibility is representative of your statement.

It seems, if anything strikes a cord with Adobe is when someone brings up this 32 to 64bit compatibility issue. Costs related to this are being transferred to the customer and/or the third party venders who produce plug-ins. If anything, this weakness is where the competitors could capitalize significantly on Adobe's market share IF they had the fortitude to explote the plug-in 32/64 bit incompatibility issue.
