Most people aren’t interested in corporate IT meetings, but an encounter this week with Microsoft and Adobe, meeting secretly, perhaps to discuss how they can work together to compete with rivals Google and Apple, has everyone talking.
Even the New York Times is considering the idea that the discussion may have gone as far as a full acquisition of Adobe by Microsoft. Others, such as Kara Swisher of All Things Digital believes it might be another angle, such as Adobe being acquired by Google.
Microsoft has pretty much refused to comment, except for CEO Steve Ballmer stating that “If you’re going to do something, you say nothing.” Nobody else is talking.
