Announcement from Adobe ;

http://www.cio.com/blog_view.html?CID=22058


basically they refer to Microsoft's past of embracing open standards and extending them, rather breaking them. They fear Microsoft may abuse its position to 'ruin' PDF and promote XMS. Adobe would rather face competition from XMS then put PDF in the Redmon based company's hands.

Pay royalties on a format that is annoying as hell? ahahaha you got to be joking. Who pays royalties on mp3 codecs, I thought it was meant to be copyright and blah blah blah aswell, nobody seems to really care.....

I would more then likely say it was implemented for the user then anything else and if they didn't actually use a product of Adobe but a file format.... can that even be copyrighted as such :|

I mean if they used for example, adobe.dll something or rather to load or save in that format that was made by adobe. But if they made their own.... it sounds a bit stupid that they can get in trouble for it.

There's only so many ways you can do things....
