List of software?

[ty]

Can somebody help me?
I´ve been looking for a site where I can find information about wich developers that are going to release their software for MacOs X...............CAN`T FIND IT!

[zaustin]

Apple has a small list at their Mac OS X page. http://www.apple.com/macosx

[ty]

The information that´s most important is if Adobe is going to release their software (Acrobat, PS, AI, InDesign and ATM).

I am not sure about this but I think stepwise.com (or is it .org ?) is a site about OS X, X server and darwin

If Adobe wasn't going to release their stuff, Apple might as well have not bothered with OSX...

They've already shown a carbonized Photoshop, so everything else should be coming along in the next few versions.

It's this sort of drivel that drives me absolutely nuts.

why? it's the truth. Adobe apps are more vital to Mac OS than the mythical MS Office. Since they are bringing them over, the point is moot

While I don't work for Adobe I'm sure that they are fully aware that OS 9 is going the way of the Dodo and are in the process of Carbonizing their software so that people will continue to purchase their products on the Mac platform.

Will there be Carbonized versions of all their apps when OS X ships -- no.

Why? There's a big difference between having a tech demo of an app running on X and actually making a successful and bug-free transition.

Point of former irritation with Photoshop: Version 5.5 had incorporated the 'new' Apple file system into some of their application, but not into all of it. If you were to open a file, you would have the ability to see the directories in the Mac OS list view complete with the triangles for peeking into directories, having the ability to select multiple files, etc -- but when you would save you had the older save dialog. very weird.

The point is, it's harder to implement sweeping changes than one might think.

Is Adobe porting to X? Yes. But freaking out that they won't be carbonized from day one and then making the claim that Apple is foolish for making a huge leap in the development of their OS is, in my opinion, lacking forethought and, well, dumb. (no offense)

As has often been discussed on this and other forums, the development process of the OS has been fast and furious these past months -- only the bravest of the developers are planning for an OS X launch debut of their apps as the OS was changing too frequently for them to have a stable code base to work from.

Once the OS get's shipped to users then more developers will begin to take up the challenge of carbonizing their apps.

As Steve Jobs mentioned, apps will be released in a bell-curve fashion -- the main influx of converted apps will be around the end of summer.

BTW: from what I gather, Microsoft Office is currently scheduled to be carbonized by Fall 2001
