I didn't, as it's so obvious to them. They are very much clued about
Linux, they can't possibly ignore that DW has no real Linux
"competitor". Adove does move towards Linux progressively. They are
clearly interested in the Linux market in the general sense, if their
recent claim to want Linux users to enjoy all their internet based
technologies perfectly (rich internet applications, flash, whatever
Adobe sells). They wouldn't bother doing this if they didn't see Linux
become a significant/worthwhile market in the mid-term. So it's only a
matter of time until they decide that it's worth porting DW and alll
their large apps. Who know, maybe they are already working on it
secretely...

Yeah, Wine is nice for the techies who can spend time figuring things
out, and live with a few bugs and problems, but hardly a "turn key",
"just works", "zero hassle" solution like the masses need. Only a
virtual machine running the native OS of the app, can do that,
unfortunately.

Vince, might e-mail Adobe after all... just to see what they might
reply, curious.
