Well, technically. The idea started years ago, but it had also been
dormant with no work on it for years. Suddenly it was reawakened with
a panic attack when Aperture was released. That is why PC users had
to wait for their version even though their version has had priority
at Adobe for years. All Adobe's available resources were aimed at the
threat from Apple. and they even broke with past practice and issued
a beta version for the first time, for Macs. When you think about
it, if Apple started Aperture after Adobe with their only image
processing experience in iPhoto to draw on and brought it to market
more than a year before Adobe's 4th beta with all their code
resources and experience, Apple did well indeed or Adobe was not
working very hard on it at all.
