Apparently, about 60% of people think that Adobe should allow Office 2007 to save files in PDF format and the other 40% think otherwise. I am almost certain that anyone purchasing the new Office 2007 wouldn’t want to shell out a few more bucks for the ability to save in PDF format after already spending a sizeable amount on the Office software itself.
An interesting part of this article is the speculation about whether or not Symantec and Adobe (both former supporters of Microsoft) are secretly teaming up to fend off Microsoft and its attempt to invade their respective market territories. I think this is a wise move on both of their parts (even if they aren’t teaming up) since Microsoft is obviously adamant about spurring new growth. It is hurting in the gaming industry and needs to find new sources of income quickly.
"Seeing what is happening with Symantec, Adobe may feel that the time to act
against Microsoft is sooner rather than later. By taking away a much sought
after feature of Office 2007, it may hinder the new Microsoft product’s
take-up."
