I can't remember the specifics right now, but Adobe was holding out on Apple, so Apple decided to high a bunch of programmers and made Aperture. Now what they are doing is making Aperture OSL and allowing all the people that make the awesome add-ons for photoshop to make and include them in Aperture when it is purchased. These add-ons up until recently were only available with Adobe Photoshop. This has obviously pissed off Adobe, since now they will have a rival that offers everything they do.

Especially considering that it probably hurts other developers writing on top of Carbon with the intention of using the 64-bit API. Of course, on the flip side, they needed to cut Carbon loose sooner or later as it was just a backwards compatability thing. Saying they'll have it one year and then canning it the next is not good for third parties, though. More likely, I'll bet it's just that it's going to be very difficult for Adobe to move to Cocoa (which is 32- and 64-bit) and still be cross-platform. That sounds the most reasonable. Either that, or Microsoft was just doing their little payola thing to get them to develop/release their 64-bit version only for Windows. I'm mainly curious to see what effect this has on design studios that operate with files over 3gb. They might really want to use something 64-bit capable.
