Here's an interesting piece of news before we end this week: word on internet has it Microsoft is thinking about acquiring Adobe. Stunned? Well, according to NYT, chief executives of both companies met recently to discuss "how the two companies could team up in the battle against Apple." Another point in their agenda was possible acquisition of Adobe by Microsoft. It has also emerged that Microsoft had a talk with Adobe regarding this several years ago as well, but at that time the deal never moved past informal talks as Microsoft feared antitrust watch-dogs will do their best to jeopardize the deal.
But now they think it could well be possible so they are thinking of taking it forward.
As expected both companies declined to comment
