Wouldn't it make more sense to port this to a "real" Linux first? Photoshop is often quoted as a killer app that keeps people on Windows.

CS6 already has gold status under Wine, works quite well. They could "port" it to Linux just by wrapping it in a Wine container and fixing a few bugs, much like gog does with games (using both Wine & dosbox)

Well, it's being ported to run in a virtual environment, not necessarily even Linux :/

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Apple or Microsoft were paying Adobe large sums of money to not do that.
