Could An ‘Adobe Office’ Become A Reality?

Adobe is a huge company. Maybe not Microsoft huge, but with the acquisition of Macromedia two years ago, they’ve become quite a stature in the market. They offer many different products, many you’ve probably never even heard of, that take care of many tasks. One thing their products can’t help you with, though, are your spreadsheets and slide show presentations. Wired has posted news that Adobe is pondering making a move into the office market, which they are clearly capable of doing. My brain is already churning images of what an Adobe Office would look like.

The software maker famous for Flash and Photoshop is poised to take the plunge into the lucrative world of office applications. It may sound far-fetched at first, but the stage is set for Adobe to flex its muscle in the office-app arena. The company already has a strong presence in business software with its Acrobat suite of products and interest in its new platform for web-enabled applications that run on the desktop is rising quickly.
