Is the problem that users won't know how to get Photoshop running on  
Linux with WINE?  It seems like "I use photoshop" is no longer a hard- 
stop barrier to switching to Linux, so maybe this path is worth  
taking with other apps.

The customers might not pay as they did in the Photoshop case, but  
the Linux distribution vendors might see some return on investing there.
