" The meeting, which lasted over an hour, covered a number of topics, but one of the main thrusts of the discussion was Apple and its control of the mobile phone market and how the two companies could partner in the battle against Apple. A possible acquisition of Adobe by Microsoft were among the options. "
" Adobe's stock is currently up over 10% on the rumors of a Microsoft acquisition. "

Oh yeah, that would be just awesome. Can't wait for all of the Creative Suite products to fall under Microsoft's thumb.

I can see it now ...
"We will no longer be supporting the Apple OS. Our partnership with Adobe has allowed us to provide an exceptional product for the Windows platform."
... herm. Would be a great way for Adobe to strike back.
- nah, there's no way they'd quit supporting mac os. too big a revenue stream, like their office suite.SteveJobs
- also a great way to get in major trouble again with the DOJ ;DNONEIS
- Okay. Apple Platforms just get Photoshop Elements and Microsoft Paint.dibec
- ok, THAT would be vindictive!SteveJobs
- If you're a good designer, you can do everything using only Elements & Paint!nb

i don't an acquisition of this size wouldn't mean anything detrimental to the adobe brand or their creative suite products. good things happened when they acquired bungie, says the dollars of millions of halo fans.

design has always been a medium to communicate
art is bright colors that make you feel better (sic)this board doesn't really get that fact

Microsoft® Creative Studio Suite® Professional Edition Advanced® - Microshop® Digital Pro®
Which will replace Adobe Photoshop®
I believe the blue screen of death PMS color and white will be the default colors instead of black and white.
