I wonder how cheap the stock would have to get for Apple to acquire Adobe? I can imagine them cleaning house in management and get them back to a focus on creating the best graphics/video/authoring tools around. Would be a natural fit given Apple's "Creative" user base, software expertise, and history. Adobe WAS a great company, just seems to have been MBA'd into the ground over the last 5-8 years.
- Keyframe 16y agoPlease NO! Apple has a history of DESTROYING (yes, I'm yelling) graphics software companies. Especially the ones who's products I was using (bad luck). Silicon Grail (Chalice), Nothing real (Shake, Tremor), Silicon Color, India Pro - they just smeared shit over their users and abandoned those great products. I would rather see Autodesk buy Adobe, if anyone must buy them - it would be a more natural fit than Apple and Autodesk at least showed they don't meddle with their acquisitions too much (Alias -> Maya could be debated though) - Softimage, Mudbox, Discreet (all of their software) etc.. only benefited from acquisition so far, even though Autodesk is kind of evil - Autodesk co-founder said their business model is to buy up market by buying their competition (on nerdTV).
