Our software distribution is in some sense a side-effect of what we do, rather than the objective. Producing specific applications to meet market demand has never been a goal; that's what ISVs are for. If there is sufficient demand for an application, I'm sure some company will decide they are willing to take your money and satisfy your demand. Maybe Adobe would like to contribute one as a public service? Maybe you've never talked to Adobe. :-) * This is not a slam at the FSF, just a statement that we operate differently.
