Perhaps not.

"There's no official transcript yet, but the Wall Street Journal just live-blogged an interview with Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen, in which he responded to the Steve Jobs "Thoughts on Flash" letter posted this morning. Substantively, Narayen didn't offer much we haven't heard Adobe say before, but his frustration with Apple is palpable even in summary form: he called Jobs' points a "smokescreen," said Flash is an "open specification," and further said Apple's restrictions are "cumbersome" to developers and have "nothing to do with technology." What's more, he also said Jobs' claims about Flash affecting battery life are "patently false," and suggested that any Flash-related crashes on OS X have more to do with Apple's operating system than Adobe's software."
Haven't watched the video, but it sounds like Adobe is giving more than just a "market will decide" response.
- X-Istence 16y agoSo Flash crashing on my Mac is because of the Mac OS X operating system when those same crashes happen under Linux as well, but not under Windows? Methinks it is more a case of shoddy engineering.
