McIlroy--QuarkXPress and InDesign Battle it Out

But try telling that to Adobe. They don't want to hear it. They're on a mission, and woe betide any who stand in their way.

The Rise of A New Empire
I think Adobe has become more and more "imperial" in the past few years. "Imperial" as in "Imperial Rome" or "Imperial Russia." The company has become so big, so rich and so powerful. But at the same time, Adobe still hews to the heavily altruistic motivations of the company founders, John Warnock and Chuck Geschke (who has just retired). It leads to a kind of schizophrenia for Adobe and its employees. The publicly traded company has gone from a market cap of $1 billion to nearly $13 billion, just in the past 18 months.
