[Rocket News] Apple Ships Vulnerable Adobe Flash With Snow Leopard, Sophos ...: Apple is silently downgrading users of Mac OS X 10.6, aka Snow Leopard, to an old, vulnerable version of Adobe Flash Player. According to Sophos, users who upgrade to Snow Leopard are left with Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.23.1, .
[Graham Cluley's blog] Apple ships a known vulnerable version of Flash with Snow Leopard ...: Mac users who have been diligent enough to keep their security up-to-date do not deserve to be silently downgraded. We know that hackers keep finding security holes in Adobe's code - and that's deeply concerning because it is so widely used by many internet users, whether on Mac or PC.
[Neowin.net / All] Adobe announces no CS3 support on Snow Leopard: Whoever's fault CS3's instability is -- Adobe's for breaking the rules or Apple's for changing the rules or not defining them rigorously enough -- it doesn't seem too outrageous to expect Apple to test their new OS with common versions of what is arguably the most important software suite on the platform. Where problems are found they could adjust the changes or add a compatibility shim the way Microsoft do.
[John Nack on Adobe] John Nack on Adobe: Adobe Snow Leopard FAQ: To blame Adobe, when Apple completely changes their operating system platforms, runtime APIs, and development tools every couple of years, is unreasonable. True, Adobe is a giant in the software industry, but if they're having trouble keeping up with Apple, imagine how hard it is for small software vendors, many of whom have either had to devote large portions of their development efforts over the last seven years or so to just keeping up with Apple, instead of actually adding features or making new products, or simply had to abandon Mac development.
[ShortFormBlog] ShortFormBlog » Protip: If you installed Snow Leopard, upgrade ...: The new Mac version installs a long-outdated version of Adobe's app. You might have had a fully-upgraded version of Flash before upgrading to Snow Leopard last week, but you probably don't have it this week.
[9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence] Adobe won't support CS3 on Snow Leopard - UPDATED | 9 to 5 Mac: We do note the problem when allocating resources at one of the world's biggest software developers, but we also note the commitment in Adobe's tech support briefing which said when we looked, "Older versions of our creative software will not be updated to support Mac OS X Snow Leopard (v10.6)." This suggests if Snow Leopard causes any unexpected problems, Adobe at this time doesn't plan to address them.
[CNET News - Apple] Relax: Photoshop CS3 works on Snow Leopard | Deep Tech - CNET News: If continuing to use CS3 / CS2 / CS or even Photoshop 7 is important to you for the next 18 months, then you will have no problem continuing as you were with plain ol' Leopard on you current computer. If your business / hobby is doing well enough to upgrade your machine, or buy an additional one that doesn't come with 10.5 Leopard, then you're doing well enough to fork out the incremental cost for a CS upgrade.
[John Nack on Adobe] John Nack on Adobe: Information about Photoshop CS3 on Snow Leopard: Bottom line: If Adobe is going to charge as much as it does for software and is happy to have a few customers paying out the a** instead of many more customers who would be willing to buy the software if they could afford it, and by doing so if they are going to literally keep people out of the creative community by price gouging (yes, many would like to work in graphics but can not afford the software), then Adobe should at least support CS3 in Snow Leopard for those poor saps that can not afford (another) upgrade to CS4 when they just bought CS3 last year.
[Cooee Search] Apple ships a known vulnerable version of Flash with Snow Leopard ...: But that’s precisely what seems to have happened with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, which ignores that you have been keeping Adobe Flash up-to-date and downgrades it to an earlier version, as the following YouTube video shows: So, lets explain what’s going on here.
[World Boxx] Adobe announces no CS3 support on Snow Leopard | World Boxx: Support for CS3 is available through the paid version of Adobe’s support program, John continues to say. He also continued on to point out that there are a few minor problems with CS4 in Snow Leopard, though most of the suite works fine under Apple’s new operating system.
[John Nack on Adobe] John Nack on Adobe: Fixing Adobe's broken customer service: It's very frustrating since it's not like I'm a clueless luser complaining that my Adobe is broken--I did rigorous testing on my own and gave support the exact conditions required to reproduce the bug in my very first email to them. Instead of taking 30 seconds to read my email and follow my instructions, they wasted hours of my time, wasted money paying a support guy to "handle" my case, and provided no actual solution (other than not using metadata and changing my workflow to avoid their sloppy bug).
