This has nothing to do about programmers.

Artists/designers have two choices today to use Photoshop - windows or mac. In third world countries, buying either is quite expensive. You get a whole range of laptops/desktops in Asia with Ubuntu installed (including Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc.). It would be really cool to open it up to the Adobe ecosystem.

Even if third world countries represent a meaningful fraction of artists and designers, thinking that they actually buy software is not realistic. Their piracy percentages are >90%. Why do you think Adobe is switching to a network model.
