A comment on Adobe joins the Chromebook party, starting with Photoshop.

It's not clear to me why this supports only Chromebooks and Chrome on Windows. It seems like they would have had to go to the trouble to explicitly disable support for Chrome on Linux.

Are Chromebooks so different than the shipping version of Chrome for Linux?

It doesn't necessarily mean that they disable support for chrome on linux. It's possible that it can run on Chrome for Linux but Adobe won't necessarily provide support in the same way that they provide support for the Windows version.

That's probably the main reason. It's too bad though because it would be great to have it available on linux, even in an unsupported offering.

chances are that once it comes out someone will hack it/reverse it to "run" on a standard Linux setup

Probably just heavy collaboration with Google, and Google wanting to push Chromebooks.

ChromeOS is gentoo linux. I consider this a Photoshop port. :-)
