The quoted article had the order right -- wasn't it you who wrote:
"From John Nack the Photoshop Product Manager, commenting on Apple’s switch from Coco to Carbon midstream:"
?

Adobe still publish the article as a PDF, I didn't see it on a web page -- why don't you ask them to correct your errors?

So, for the record, you are stating that you purchase all of the Adobe software that you use?

Apparently spelling and characterization is all you’ve got to dismiss your misunderstanding of why Mac users didn’t get 64 bit Photoshop when Windows users did, despite well known historical facts in that 2008 article.

Apparently it's not just "spelling and characterization" -- I don't think that you read what you respond to very well either. I never mentioned anything about Windows users getting 64 bit Photoshop before Mac users, or Coco [sic] or Carbon.
This is what I wrote:
>> Wow that's only 5 years ( or 3-and-a-bit CS upgrades) after we got 64 bit processing (and GPU processing) of image data from the underlying Mac OS on a G5.

Can you point out my misunderstanding in stating that we've had to wait five years for Photoshop to offer features that the Tiger OS had?
Kevin Lynch's admission that Adobe had neglected the Mac platform is a matter of public record.
