Other than iTunes/Quicktime which in required to drive all those iPod sales--Apple really isn't in the PC software business. Apple has done really well being a hardware company that makes software to support it. Buying Adobe puts them many new business arenas. They would be in vertical publishing markets like newspapers and magazines, document management with big corporations and govt, etc. It would seem like alot of new operation to absorb just to drive Mac sales. I'm sure they would love to get Macs on more corporate desks, but this is alot to take on to accomplish that.

I think it would be hilarious if we loaded the default page on on a web server for the city (one with instructions on how to fix the problem) and then complained about it to the the maker of the operating system. Yuk, yuk! We can even (get this) whine that all the computers in the building show the same default page when you surf to the site. Bwaaahhhaaahhhaaa! Then (I can hardly contain myself) let's accuse the poor saps of hacking our server and threaten to call the FBI!!! Teeehhheeehhheeee!
Oh, oh, my sides hurt. This is going to be great. You setup the server and I'll.... Oh, I'm just reading slashdot and see that you already done it. Well, I guess you thought of it before me. Good one.
