It's unfortunate, because i like linux (at least the idea of it. I can't use it though :( ) but i don't think it'll happen.

In general, linux users are often quite technically skilled but aren't often visually creative.

In contrast to that, people who use macs are generally visually creative, but don't have the technical ability to use linux (or don't see the potential advantage of using it, even though it's a more powerful system).

I'd see windows users as the middle-ground. A mix between the generalities. More visually creative than linux users, and more technically skilled than mac users.


So, my point is that there wouldn't be much benefit for them to release any of their products for linux since there wouldn't likely be enough users who'd get anything out of it. BUT, it's still possible and has been possible for a long time, to run the windows version of photoshop in linux using a 3rd party application like Wine or something like it.
