i'm thinking that Adobe's acquisition of Macromedia may already help with this. Adobe and Apple seem to be much better bed-fellows than Apple and Macromedia.

I read somewhere that MS will introduce a competing portable document format with the same features as pdf with Windows Longhorn, and that this move by Adobe is a way to strengthen the position of pdf by integrating it with Flash, making it the "ultimate" online media format.

wonderful! now everyone can make useless Flash intros for their .pdfs.

Why don't Dell, Compaq, IBM and Apple all combine for "more efficient solutions" and "added value to customers," it would be a terrific idea.

Then there would be no competition and one company would have monopoly and could set any price tag on their hardware...
