"Apple Should Buy Adobe," Cringeley Thinks – And He Explains Why

Robert X. Cringely thinks Apple should buy Adobe. In an article published on the National Public Radio website discussing Apple's future, he lays out some goals for Apple on its quest to desktop dominance: an important link in this chain, according to Cringeley, is the aquisition by Apple of Adobe Systems.

I really hope that Apple doesn't do what Cringley suggests and even if they do that it is squashed by the state department responsible for mergers and acquisitions, since:

- Apple needs some healthy competition in this domain

- Even though I am a Mac user, having a competitor in the PC domain also helps Apple keep on their toes

- Adobe bought Macromedia, so in this field Apple would near a potential monopoly.
