Assuming achievement of the mid-point of our targeted revenue range, our Q2 revenue expectations by business segment are as follows. We expect our Creative business to increase sequentially because of the launch of CS5. We expect our Knowledge Worker and Omniture segments to decline slightly on a sequential basis, factoring one less week of run rate in Q2 versus Q1.
We expect our Enterprise business to grow sequentially and our Platform and Print and Publishing businesses should be relatively flat in Q2 with revenue achieved in Q1. We expect all of our geographic segments to grow sequentially from Q1 to Q2 due to the CS5 launch.
For margins, we are targeting a Q2 GAAP operating margin range of 21% to 24.5%, and a non-GAAP operating margin range of 33.5% to 35.5%. We are targeting our Q2 share count to be 531 million to 535 million shares. We are targeting non-GAAP operating expense to be between $16 million and $18 million on both a GAAP and non-GAAP basis, due to the debt we put in our balance sheet with our bond offering in Q1.
For our Q2 GAAP and non-GAAP effective tax rates, we are targeting approximately 25%, which excludes the R&D tax credit. These targets lead to a GAAP earnings per share range of $0.23 to $0.30 per share and a non-GAAP earnings per share range of $0.39 to $0.44.
Looking towards the second half of fiscal 2010, we remain excited about our opportunities and the strong product line up we will deliver. Although we are not providing specific financial targets for the rest of the year today, assuming we achieve results within our Q2 financial target ranges, we believe our revenue and margin will grow sequentially throughout the remainder of the year.
This concludes my section. I’d now like to turn the call over to Shantanu.

Thanks, Mark. I’m pleased with the progress we are making against our strategic and business objectives. The Flash platform continued to show significant momentum this quarter. At Mobile World Congress, we made several announcements, including news that a beta of Flash Player 10.1 was made available to content providers and mobile developers worldwide.
With general availability expected beginning in Q2, 10.1 is the first runtime release of the Open Screen Project, enabling uncompromised web browsing of expressive content, high definition video and rich applications across multiple screens including desktops, smartphones, networks, internet-connected TVs, new tablet devices and other consumer electronics.
The Open Screen Project is an industry-wide initiative, led by Adobe that now includes 70 ecosystem partners. We’ve been working closely with our OSP partners to enable the deployment of Flash Player on Google Android, the Blackberry OS, the Symbian OS, the Palm webOS and Windows Phone Series 7 devices. You can expect to see some of these devices starting to ship with Flash Player in the first half of this year and quickly ramping through this year and next.
We also unveiled Adobe AIR 2.0 for mobile devices, a consistent runtime for the delivery of stand-alone mobile device applications. AIR leverages mobile specific features from Flash Player 10.1, is optimized for high performance on mobile screens and designed to take advantage of native device capabilities for a richer and more immersive user experience. We expect to roll out AIR support for mobile platforms later this year.
In our Creative Solutions business, we continued to focus on delivering an integrated authoring suite for all media platforms including Flash and HTML. In Q1, our CS business remains stable and our Photoshop and hobbyist products boosted strong results.
In our video business, we continue to transition marquee media and broadcast accounts to the Flash platform, for the delivery of video over the web. We are seeing an unprecedented amount of change happening on the web, in publishing and across all forms of media and advertising.
Creation and consumption of content is transforming rapidly, as people engage across a growing array of devices and this is driving significant changes in the business and distribution models of content owners and publishers.
Against the backdrop of this changing environment, we are excited about the upcoming launch of CS5. It will be a phenomenal release, rich with innovative (inaudible) features, new products and integrated workflows. It will enable an even broader set of designers and developers to more effectively create, deliver and measure engaging experiences across media and devices. On April 12th, we will host an online event to launch CS5, which is on track to ship in major languages late in Q2.
Our Omniture solutions will enable our customers to measure and optimize rich content, including that created in our CS applications. In Q1, we achieved record quarterly revenue for the Omniture business with strong sales momentum, a 95% Enterprise customer retention rate and the addition of over 150 new customers including Air Canada, REI, CareerBuilder, Forbes.com and Terra Networks, Latin America’s largest internet company.
Integration of the two companies is going well and we are meeting all of our major milestones. We will debut product integration with CS5 and are already seeing benefits of a combined sales organization.
Earlier this month, we held the annual Omniture summit. At that event, we announced version 2.0 of the Omniture Online Marketing Suite. We also provided details about an exciting new business relationship with Facebook, which will enable marketers to buy highly targeted Facebook ads using Omniture’s SearchCenter Plus and then measure the performance of those ads in the context of their overall media spend.
We continue to leverage our PDF franchise in the Enterprise. In our Knowledge Worker segment, Acrobat got off to a great start in 2010, driving strong year-over-year and sequential growth in Q1. Acrobat.com now has over 10 million users and we are excited about extending Acrobat functionality with Acrobat.com services in the next Acrobat release later this year.
In our Enterprise business segment, Connect had another strong quarter as government agencies and enterprises continued to adopt our Flash-based web conferencing solution. We also continued to work with customers such as Northwestern Mutual Life, T-Mobile and the California Department of Motor Vehicles to deliver LiveCycle solutions to extend the value of existing back-office systems.
