Yes, there is some difference of opinion on this topic. It depends on the type of advertising and on the industry. Online ads are holding firm for now, while traditional advertising is leveling off and expected to decline in most sectors. General consensus is that 2008 will be okay, due to the Olympics and the US Election, but for 2009, the forecast is a bit grim.

Forecasters disagree about advertising spending in 2008. UBS, a bank, predicts that expenditure on ads will increase by 5%, whereas Goldman Sachs, a rival, forecasts that it will decline by as much as 5%.

Microsoft is now in beta for its competitor to Adobe...I have been using Adobe forever so I'm sure it will lead to better pricing/features on both sides.

Awesome news! Hopefully it will happen soon! Intel support on the Mac has been a long time coming, and way overdue.
