Adobe GOD no00000! If Adobe owned it not only would is cost thousands but it would be bloated to the point of ridiculous. Lets take adobe reader as an example of the fine programming skills there: Acrobat reader : 20+ MB takes abouit 45 seconds to launch. Foxit Reader, an acrobat clone: 4 MB launch time 0.5 seconds. Then there's Max, Max 9 abandoned all previous plugins. While I'm sure it's very profitable for all the plugin vendors, I'm not buying updates for all my plugins thank you very much. I can imagine how much Poser would be if Autodesk owned it, but I bet we would all be shopping at TurboSquid and thinking we were geting a great deal paying $300 for a model of a basket ball.
