Their are rumors going around whether Adobe may get bought out by Microsoft. This would be a HUGE acquisition for Microsoft or for any company. Would this be a positive move for Microsoft? In many ways it would be good for both companies, but they have many overlapping products. Overlapping products can be an issue when combining companies because it is hard to choose who product and what features come/go, etc...
I personally don't see this going through, or even being a legit rumor, but if it were real then might Apple consider purchasing Adobe? Adobe has a large portion portion of their business invested in Apple products, even though they argue about Flash. A Microsoft purchase of Adobe could prove to be a problem for Apple, so buying Adobe before Microsoft does could prove to be a good move. Ultimately I can't imagine Adobe being bought by any of these companies, but anything is possible.
