Microsoft opens up more on data it's collecting with Windows 10

I can only get Photoshop 7 to reliably work on WINE. CS2 is iffy, and has major screen redrawing issues. Illustrator 10 and InDesign 2.0 (from same era) can be run, but have lots of glitches. 7.0 is the last version to not require activation. The CS2 releases that came out a few years ago w/ universal keys (due to activation servers being shut down) only work on Windows really, aside from Photoshop. Even then, they mostly struggle in Vista-onwards. Those are XP-era. I can't get Premiere Pro 2.0 to run at all in WINE.

I refuse to use hacked/tampered-with versions of Photoshop and CS software, and anything after CS (when activation became required) simply will NOT install properly (aside from CS2). Any the Creative Cloud stuff (stuff from 2012/13 onwards) won't install properly at all, due to the client not wanting to install properly.

It's a complete nightmare.

I keep 7.0 because it has OpenType support and is super easy/quick to install and lightweight (like 150MB) but Linux is NOT a place for graphics/video work for the masses, period.

BTW - If anyone gets the CS apps running in WINE, it's because they're using hacked programs that are stolen/illegal/warez. That crap ain't coming anywhere near my system, ever. Who KNOWS what's in those.
