We shall fight in the hills, we shall never surrender
Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen is standing his ground against Apple
CEO Steve Jobs, who recently published an open letter, or rant, bashing
Adobe's flash and blaming it for everything from the Kennedy
assassination to the housing market crash.
Narayen said that Adobe believes in open content and that Apple feels
threatened by Adobe's tech and cross-platform computing. He noted that
Adobe has remained true to consumers who want to run their software on
multiple platforms. Narayen pointed out that more than 100 apps offered
in Apple's App Store were based on Adobe technology and that Jobs' rant
was a mere smokescreen to cover up licensing practices that have
nothing to do with technology.
Narayen dismissed Jobs' claims that Adobe software was the main reason
of Mac crashes, saying it was all down to the operating system. Frankly
this is the most ridiculous claim of all. Computers crash, it's what
they do, but we haven't heard complaints from PC users that Adobe's
evil code is making their Microsoft systems die.
Commenting Jobs' claims that Adobe Flash drained the poor, helpless
MacBook batteries, Narayen said that such claims were patently false.
