Microsoft Should Buy Adobe

Dear Sirs.

Please Provide you feedback on IDE should Microsft Buy Adobe

Positive:

1) Adobe is one of the Bigges vendor on Apple (Design Products). Microsoft Controling Office on MAC and it might take control on Design Software Too.

2) Control on Flash. Bigest Advantage for Microsoft. Merging SilverLight and Flash. Contrlong Platform incliding Linux.

3) Killing Java Products, Adobe Flex, ColdFusion,AIR .... (Beat Oracle World)

Items 2) and 3) Gives MS Big Instruments Control On Internet.

4) Control on PDF Document. Biggest Securtiy Challange. and Big Opportunuty of MS.

5) Expanding Expression Line With  new Products (Photoshop,Dreamwave ....)

I Thinks Microsoft should do this  

I don't think it is going to happen... ever. But in a dream situation, I would just love to see Microsoft buy Adobe and just kill and burn Flash altogether and be done with it.

I think that Microsoft should buy a small tropical island, for it's dedicated Channel9 groupies.

Of course, professional developement courses in programming, surfing, and massage therapy will be free for all guests.

Perhaps, Bill Hill could come out of retirement to help with the surfing lessons.
