I'm just envisioning a world with ohhhhhhhhhhh 2, maybe 3 software
companies. I'm not a fan of monopoly. Competition is good for the soul,
the feature set, and the pocketbook.

Errr do you mean the lawsuit over floatable tabbed palettes? It was
Adobe who sued Macromedia and Adobe who won to the tune of 2.8 million
dollars I believe.

"In turn, Macromedia has filed a countersuit for patent infringement against
Adobe's Photoshop image-editing software and its GoLive Web software, which
is scheduled to be heard in the same court on Monday, 6 March."
Yep, but that countersuit that Macromedia had against Adobe netted them the
bigger sum. Sort of a tit-for-tat with Macromedia coming out on top.
Now, Adobe has done a Microsoft on Macromedia.
