Adobe Apple Bloat - WTF?

(1/2) > >>

worker201:
Take a look at these minimum hard drive space requirements (reprinted without permission) from adobe.com:

Photoshop 7
PC - 280 MB
Mac - 320 MB

InDesign 2
PC - 145 MB
Mac - 220 MB

Acrobat 6 Pro
PC - 245 MB
Mac - 405 MB

Where is this coming from?  Note that Illustrator 10 has the same requirements for both systems.  I thought there was no feature difference.  What's going on?  Not that my hard drive can't cut it, I'm just curious.  All hypotheses welcome.

The folks at Adobe are pissed at Apple for making apps that are very alike their own, but better. This is why Adobe makes these bloated versions for Mac.  :D

That's crazy, you jest, no?

gump420:
Keep in mind that the Mac OS X versions of these apps are actually "newer" than the PC counterparts in the sense that Adobe has not had a chance to streamline them for the OS yet.  Although Apple has the Carbon API for OS X, it is NOT the old Macintosh Toolbox, meaning that some sections have to be rewritten, not simply ported.

Just to clear this up: he's bullshitting.
