They also have Sparkle to complete with Flash, which is a product from
Macromedia (acquired by Adobe last year). Additionally, work is being done
at Microsoft on a Photoshop (Adobe)-killer, written in .NET. Development on
this application was halted entirely because, apparently, there were not
enough 'troops' working on the frustrating Windows Vista. Managers switch;
employees dodge and reach Google; even some stories about Xbox developers
jumping to the rescue....
Despite all, the sinking ship will have its arrival time delayed, until
January at the earliest. The PDF creation which was recently dropped from
Office 2007 is yet another fight. Office users lack an important feature.
Best wishes,
Roy
