where in the hell did you get that crazy idea? 

adobe does not in any way use microsoft's libraries, nor do they port
*from* windows. 

quite a few of adobe's apps began on the mac first, later ported *to*
windows, notably photoshop. adobe uses their own cross platform
framework, and it works quite well. all of their cross platform apps
are designed to be cross platform. they are not ports. 

not only that, but the mac versions of microsoft apps share very little
code. for instance, mac internet explorer used a different html
rendering engine than windows internet explorer. only the name was the
same. microsoft tried the cross-platform approach with word 6, which
was a disaster.
