Adobe Systems' CEO Bruce Chizen is betting it all on PDF, the technology that allows people to view and print online information. But can the gamble stave off challenges from Microsoft?
When he co-founded Netscape Communications in 1994, Jim Clark introduced a Web browser that promised computer users a way around the Microsoft juggernaut.
Back in 1989, when Tim Berners-Lee sat down at the European particle Physics Laboratory in Geneva to invent what would one day become the World Wide Web, there was no one around to notice. When he and a few associates began creating the first browsers a year later, a mere handful of people were paying attention. The process of invention was swift, personal, intuitive and collegial.
2001 was a blockbuster year for technology releases, with several markets experiencing a glut of new product arrivals. ZDNet Australia takes a look back at the latest offerings in PDAs, mobile phones, chips, software and other hardware.
COMMENTARY -- Longhorn will be immensely popular once it is released, because Longhorn is revolutionary technology that makes desktop computing better.
Adobe's latest incarnation of Acrobat is top of the line, highly featured software. Just make sure you need all the bells and whistles before you pay the AU$999 price tag.
Print and Web designers who don't need support for film work will find enhanced integration throughout these updates to InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, Dreamweaver, and more.
Adobe's Acrobat 6.0 is an indispensable upgrade for any serious Acrobat user. But individual users should look for a cheaper option.
We may quibble with some of the superficial ways in which Adobe updated Photoshop from 5.5 to 6.0, but we certainly can't complain about the results. Based on the beta version we tested, we think that print and Web graphics producers will greatly appreciate the productivity improvements. However, casual users may finally find themselves a bit over their heads.
Microsoft is aiming higher with the new version of FrontPage, which will be launched later this year and sold as a standalone product.
