I for one am very happy that Apple is finally releasing a new OS after so many years with the wonderful but substandard OS9. But Jobs should now as well or better than anyone that Adobe put this platform on the map and has been a driving force to keeping Apple afloat in its most dire times. I have the hardest time believing that Adobe hasnt so much as announced a tenative release date for OSX versions of their software. I can understand Adobe dragging their feet with their recent influx of PC customers but how did Jobs let so much time go by without pressuring Adobe to get on the ball. What was he thinking!?
I agree that great things has happen in Apple. OS X looks great and the direction is in my opinion right.
Still world is going (in some parts) into centered services, databases etc. I still find a little bit strange that Oracle is not in Apples stratergy. To me, OS X should have native-like contact in Oracle-databases; Windows and UNIX (and Linux) are just "carriers" for data. Real competition comes when Apple can EASILY handle big databases, like Oracle.
