Very true Andy
What killed V2000 was the poor reliability and low video head life.
VHS hi-jacked many of the developments of betamax and V2000 which made VHS a very acceptable product in the end.
Yes Frank Photoshop was developed for commercial users who have to make their living with it. It was never intended for a hobbist with a box brownie at home. Hence the cut down version elements. I am lucky I get a copy via my work as I need it to test our software and investigate customer problems.
Another issue is related to file and compression formats - the cheaper versions of software don't support all formats because they won't pay for the royalties and licences required to use them.
What has helped Adode is that Thomas Knoll "Mr Photoshop development guru" is a keen photographer so CS1 and CS2 have come on in leaps and bounds with regards to photo editing.
