I agree
If Adobe goes to MS - Say goodbye Adobe.

Has Apple become such a threat to Microsoft? -I'm also wondering if the DoJ will alow this to happen?

Adobe gets spanked by Apple to the tune of 3 billion dollars wasted on Flash acquisition. Ballmer who has had a ten year continuous spanking from Apple throws moderately good money (high priced money since MSFT has taken such a severe beating in his ten year tenure) and buys Adobe.

What a hoot. Are they going to compare red butts? The fingerprints? They're Steve Job's handprints and the boot prints match his cute expensive running shoes.

If it does happen, will the newly 'emerged' company be called 'Microbe'? (via macobserver) laugh
Bugs, bugs...

Great, just when I thought Adobe software couldn't get any more bloated and bug ridden than it already is...

M$ and Adobe are fast becoming the dinosaurs of the computing world. HTML5 cannot come fast enough. If such a "merger" did happen, I'd just have to continue my support of Thorsten Lemke and his GraphicConverter app.
