You sure are some piece of work. One minute Adobe is great and being
cheered as this big champion of Linux. A few minutes later they are
"deceptive liars" - News for you... the world isn't this black and
white. This will become clear to you if you ever leave the sheltered
confines of your dorm room.

Adobe should be given credit for at supporting Linux and for attempting
to keep the Linux version of it's products current. Nearly all
companies have a delay in releasing products that ship on multiple
platforms. It's the norm, not the exception.

Because Adobe isn't able to release a Linux version on the exact same
day as they release the Windows version does not mean they are
"deceptive liars." It only means that they exist and function in
reality.

Grow up and get a clue.
