Adobe has kicked Apple in the privates on more than one occasion.  
They almost killed Rhapsody two ways, and dragged their heels on the  
Intel port of Photoshop despite having gotten a clear message from  
Apple that the classic Mac OS API was headed for the dumpster back in  
1997. So don't expect more than minimal Mac support from Adobe on  
*anything*.
