I'm sorry if my question sounded blunt. It was, I admit it, but I didn't mean it that way. I meant: I see in many places that people think that's big news. I don't understand how it's big news. What consequences are there of that that everyone should worry about? Unless you're an investor, of course...

Adobe basically controls a huge computer market. Acrobat/Reader is one of the most widely used programs anywhere. Photoshop, ImageReady, and Premiere are considered the most sophisticated picture and video editing software out there. Then, there are like 50 billion other Adobe prodcuts that also seem to make lots of money. It's safe to assume that Adobe's hard work is really paying off. Now that they have shockwave and flash, they really have become a contender for 'best' computer software franchise out there.

This is big news because it's the two biggest graphic design companies becoming one. Now one company controls the .pdf format and flash as well. I for one, use dreamweaver to make my website, and use illustrator and photoshop to make all the graphics. I am super excited for all programs inculding dreamweaver to be the same format.

I wonder if this means the government will start looking at Adobe like they did with Microsoft?
