Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen recently met with CNET News.com to discuss his company’s acquisition of Macromedia and changes he sees in the technology world. During the interview, he offered insights into Apple Computer’s switch to Intel chips.
Q: I wanted to get your take on Apple’s switch to Intel. How difficult is the process of migrating apps from platform to platform?
Chizen: Steve (Jobs) likes to trivialize the process and make it seem easy, but moving the apps over is not that easy…Getting over to MacTel is work. I think in the long run it’s going to be great because what the users will get is better performance…and greater value. At Adobe, we tend to optimize for Intel today on the Windows side. The fact that we’ll be able to optimize for Intel cross-platform will make it even better for us.
