Re:  Apple licensing font technology to Microsoft; Adobe out in cold

I think this is great.  Adobe was founded to release proprietary
technology to the world (Postscript was a redesign of Xerox's
then-proprietary Interpress language).

But Adobe, you couldn't quite keep your hands out of the cookie jar,
could you?  You had to make just one *little* *teeny* part of
postscript proprietary?  You had to make font storage proprietary,
didn't you?


Eat your proprietary products, Adobe..... The party's over!


Kudos go to Apple for making Adobe eat proprietary pie.
