Actually, all they SHOULD care about is money. All Apple cares about is money. Apple has decided that the best way to get your money is to provide excellent products and superior service … but it’s still all about the money.

Same goal. Adobe just tries a different method.

I prefer to judge adobe on the cumbersome way CS5 is put together. It has so many stupid sub programs that run all the time and eat your hard drive space and use up processor energy. Why must everything adobe does be bloated?

As a former adobe employee I understan many problems that many of you speak of. To say they are losing customers is a joke. Let’s not forget the purchase of OMNITURE for 1.8 billion dollars. The recent purchase of Day technologies and several others will solidify them for some time. Omniture’s revenue alone is a billion dollars. They are the dominant force in web and social analytics. There are Many fronts where most of you have no idea .. I left adobe after five years. I am sure to post many more items now and in the future but you guys are the biggest haters I’ve seen. Judging adobe soley on flash is akin to judging IBM on one product. I a willing to bet that most of you can not name half of the Adobe revenue producing products.

Adobe is quickly losing it’s user base. The only reason they still have a user base is only because they purchased Macromedia, otherwise, Adobe would have crumbled faster than at the rate it’s happening. I have never seen so much negative sentiment against them, but even users of there software, that have been with them since the late 80′s now are voicing dissatisfaction. Adobe used to care about there customers, now they only care about money. They should take a page from Apple, if you care about your customer, then you don’t really have to worry so much about money.

“As before, Adobe will continue to provide the best technologies and solutions…”

“There are now several app stores … that service AIR developers including Apple App Store, Android Market, BlackBerry App World, Intel AppUp center, Samsung Apps, and Toshiba App Place.”

Of the 6 “App” stores listed in the preceding paragraph, I count 5 that would not surprise me by soon announcing their own closures.
