PhotoShop going 64-bit for Windows; the Mac will have to wait

[NewsBot]

Well it was a no brainer that Adobe would eventually drop support for 32-bit Windows.*

 

John Nack goes into great detail to explain why the Mac version of Photoshop will still be 32-bit (Adobe plans to complete the transitiion in Photoshop C5).

 

He already knows that his reasoning is not likely to appease some Mac users (just look at the first comment on the page), but I remember thinking 'Oh bugger ... Photoshop' when Jobs announced that they were dumping Carbon, so for me, this is very good news.

 

And for someone like me, who complains about Microsoft slavishly clinging on to backwards compatibility, this has been a good hard look at the flipside ....

 

I wonder if MS will be announcing similar plans?
