Adobe Too Launches Assault On Microsoft
Adobe has made its intentions clear of hitting Microsoft where it hurts. It will soon launch a suite of online word processor joining IBM, Google, and Sun Microsystems, to take on Microsoft’s Office.
It will announce the acquisition of Waltham, Massachusetts based Virtual Ubiquity, the maker of Buzzword, the startup's Flash-based online word processor.
Buzzword joins Adobe's other online offerings, Acrobat Connect, Create PDF Online, and a new service called Share, to form the backbone of a free online document collaboration service.
Adobe is looking to a team of former Lotus application developers to enable the millions Adobe Acrobat software users to work together publishing shared documents.
“We were looking for a technology to create a modern word processor,” Erik Larson, Adobe's director of marketing and product management. “The problem of collaborating on documents is not solved and we think we can solve it.”
