Microsoft's Acrylic beta

[Wallace_Askew]

Microsoft would be in a far better position by buying-out one of Adobe's competitors (i.e. Ulead, Corel, etc...) and marketing their products under the guise of the Microsoft brand, similiar to their situation with Antispyware, rather than attempting to create a premium, first-class, application to go toe-to-toe with Photoshop.

At any rate, "Adobe" is the branded name to which all other comparable products attempt to measure up to. It would be foolish, IMO, for some MS excutive to even dream that their own product could somehow be thought of in the same framework as a competitor for Jasc or Corel or Ulead much less Macromedia and Adobe.


Kind of like Apple trying to chip away at the domination of Windows- it's just not going to happen.

Does anyone remember Lotus Notes or Lotus 1-2-3 ?

I tried it.
It's pretty limited in features, and has a really shitty interface.

I'll stick to fireworks for now.

can you post screenshots
