VMware, Google Team On Chromebooks

I use Fedora, and occasionally run into the same problems with proprietary apps as some Chromebook users would. All and all this sounds ok, but unfortunately seems like it's meant to appease enterprise users and not consumer end-users.

P.S. someone make a real PS & AI replacement for Linux and/or Adobe port CC, so I don't have to use Mavericks in a VM anymore

In 1 - 2 years from now I bet you will be able to use Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator in the cloud only (not necessarily a good thing). Your OS will be irrelevant (in the sense that any of the above apps will run on any OS that has a browser).

Totally agreed; I checked out the ultra Photoshop web app just the other day.

Until it happens though, I'm stuck with either the hideous VMWare window chrome or cursing at Gimp/Inkscape for not having the features I've been used to for years.
