It does seem like controlling the platform it's whether browser, device, or even web app (Google) is what companies need to produce the kinds of changes they want. And I think what you see now are the platform owners attempting to shake off the Adobe middleman/ toll booth now that they have the chance.
When you look at stuff Adobe did spend time or money on, people seem to forget they were pushing their suite of web productivity apps, like this Flash-based word processor: http://www.adobe.com/acom/buzzwo… So did that become a viable contender to something like Google Docs or was it misguided?
Also, what about the whole Air initiative? Should it be deemed a failure at this point, or do you guys think it still has legs?
