Adobe set to enter the office arena
According to Wired, Adobe is considering taking "the plunge into the lucrative world of office applications. It may sound far-fetched at first, but the stage is set for Adobe to flex its muscle in the office-app[lication] arena."
Recently having had a go at an open source office application, OpenOffice, which some speculate may factor into Adobe's plans, I'm relishing the idea of Microsoft Office losing ground. Isn't it time Word faced a real contender? Imagine the wonders Adobe, famous for Acrobat, Photoshop and arguably Flash, might bring to our desktops.
However, the revolution will take time. After all, Firefox has yet to outstrip Internet Explorer where it counts...in number of users. People will be slow to make the transition.
Which reminds me, what's this I hear about Google coming out with a new browser?

If monolithic organizations have taught me anything, it's: why compete when you can buy the competitor?
Witness Roots Air, which never got off the ground once it was bought out by another airline. Then there's You Tube, which Google owns, Victoria Secret owns stock in La Senza.
I'll be cheering for Adobe. Even if they don't win, it'll be nice to see (hopefully) see some kind of competition.
