Minus Points? Poppycock! I run Photoshop regularly in Wine and it runs
very well. I also run Flash CS4 in an XP VM I made from an image of a
defunct XP box so the cost of an XP license is moot also - who can't get
their hands on an old XP box when they need one? Many of these so-and-so
isn't available for linux arguments are actually nonsense.

Now OSX software is different, if you had mentioned Final Cut Pro or
Logic Pro Audio you may have had a point.
