Microsoft is a 1000 pound gorilla with a limp

"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. An antitrust suit in Europe where Microsoft is vulnerable may further weaken any pretensions that Microsoft harbours to move into Adobe’s Acrobat territory. Adobe’s silence has been astonishing and probably means a lawsuit is in the wind."
