Microsoft talking about possible Adobe acquisition

[Morne]

You think this could be good, or just bad?

I can't see that happening; Adobe is huge... what would Microsoft do with it?

Best regards,

Bundle it with Windows so you can't uninstall it.

Imagine Autodesk taking over Adobe

How about MS + Autodesk + Adobe? lol

I wish there were a serious competitor to Adobe. They bought up, took the good stuff, and then killed the only semi threat, Macromedia.

if it happens, be prepared for ribbon

I would say the current version of Photoshop is about half an inch from a ribbon interface as it is now anyway. Call me old school, but I am not a bog fan of programs giving custom interface options. This includes Microsoft's ribbon,Adobe CS4+ products, and Max 2010+. It is funny, when your computer bogs down, and can't load "the skin" it shows the old school Windows title bar underneath. I assume this happens to everyone, and not just me.

i hate ribbons....i ve had a chance to work with MS OFFICE lately and believe me i ve searched for the print function for about 10 minutes.
