Alas, the worst has happened.
A software company known for its bloated, over-priced, yet incredibly pervasive (and thus, required) software packages has purchased a software company known for its bloated, annoying, yet incredibly pervasive (and thus, required) software packages.
The result? most likely, even MORE expensive, MORE bloated, MORE annoying software that despite all its shortcomings everyone is using and therefore, to open/receive anything sent by anyone, you have to have it to. Nice.
God how I wish this was a bad April Fool’s joke.
Oh well. As of this writing, it would appear that Adobe’s website has just been crushed under the load the merger announcement has created, so at least there some small satisfaction in that.
