Yes indeed, Marco I said "consumer profiling solutions". Let me amend
that to " consumer and office profiling solutions for the Windows
platform" - that's where the Game Over light is waking up.
As for printing and prepress, I suspect that given the deadweight of a
printing press, the most formidable force in the universe --inertia --
will prevail over even the Borg.
And then there is the middle area, that of intensive users of
Photoshop and the like; I supect that Adobe is going to figure that
integrating some profiling tools in PS solves the quandary nicely,
removing financial incentives to rely on the Windows built-in services
while guaranteeing equality of results across platforms.
