| Is Adobe Playing Microsoft, or Vice Versa? |
|---|
There are a number of reasons to think that Adobe is getting a little too cozy for its own good with Microsoft. But I'd argue that Adobe is smarter than that. Instead, it's simply playing "Possum Poker."
Adobe has some real chips it can hold onto in the high-stakes poker game between Redmond and "All the Rest."
And, no, I am not talking about Adobe Fonts—which contributed a declining 5 percent of Adobe's $1.6-billion revenues in 2004. Nor am I referring to the Photoshop software that recently helped Adobe's creative division achieve a whopping 66-percent growth in revenues.
