Ubuntu will include Photoshop and i-tunes in the next versions.
According to the latest news, it seems Ubuntu is going to collaborate with closed source software. Recently, a user survey was conducted on the forums which programs they would like to see ported to Ubuntu. For example, here . If the official porting of Photoshop to Ubuntu happens - many users will migrate to Linux. There are many people who are prevented from switching to Ubuntu by the lack of necessary programs, such as Adobe Photoshop. Although there are alternatives for it (for example, Gimp), a user survey showed that, given the current scenario, the Gimp will never (in the near foreseeable future) be a replacement for Adobe Photoshop. We are waiting for official statements and comments from Adobe and Canonical.
