Digital BW, The Print

Note that porting anything written in Carbon with certain non-Apple IDE's to Universal Binaries is rather difficult. It essentially requires a hefty rewrite of the UI code as well as some other parts (anything that ties in closely with the IDE's code libraries). Adobe has been doing that, but the timeline is such that they wouldn't have had an Intel native version of CS2 out much before the launch of CS3. So they decided to go with CS3 instead.
