Adobe, FedEx Kinko’s Pact Creates Firestorm —Michelson

Adobe promised to issue a formal response to this controversial matter by August 1, too late for the outcome to be reported here. Either way, if the software developer doesn’t douse the flames by either breaking its contract with FedEx Kinko’s—even if it means suffering whatever financial penalties may be written into the contract for an early termination—or by making non-branded, 8.2 versions of the two software programs available, an industry firestorm of opposition will surely burn out of control.
