I found this take on things interesting:


   Ubuntu wants Adobe, even if Apple doesn't

   I recently suggested that, given Apple and Adobe's growing war
   over iPad and iPhone applications, it would make sense for Adobe
   to move not only its end-user applications, but its Creative
   Suite development stack, to Linux. While I don't know if Adobe
   is considering it, Canonical, the company behind Ubuntu Linux,
   would welcome Adobe.

   Canonical marketing manager Gerry Carr told me that "in a recent
   survey we did of the Ubuntu User base where we got 32,000 plus
   responses, Adobe Photoshop as a potential application for Ubuntu
   got a 3.52 rating out of 5 being the second most popular potential
   app after Skype."
