Microsoft / Adobe Competition Heating Up

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday April 17, 2007 @07:01AM from the ding-dong-front-page-is-dead dept.

MicroAdobe writes "Microsoft has noticed that some of the coolest sites on the Web, YouTube and MySpace included, get much of their flash from Flash and other design programs sold by Adobe. But as Microsoft gets ready to ship its own line of tools for designers and Web developers, the company is finding it must also defend against Adobe on its home turf, the desktop. At the same time, the line between Internet and desktop programs is blurring, and both companies see an opportunity to capture new business." The article focuses on the competition and doesn't even mention that Adobe's CEO called Microsoft a $50 billion monopolist.

Coolest sites on the web? by antonymous · 2007-04-17 07:58 · Score: 0, Offtopic

Myspace and Youtube? Puhleeze! Everyone knows that web portals are the wave of the future, not this flashy user-generated videospace nonsense. If you don't know what I'm talking about, type webcrawler.com into Mosaic and dogpile it!
