RE: Why should I be worried about the merger? NOT

Picture this instead:

Microsoft buys Adobe and Quadralay and ...

Adobe actually seems like a possibility. Each new version of Word seems
to attempt to incorporate more features of FM (in the process making
Word even unfriendlier than before). Course I can't say for the rest of
the programs, but if anyone could do it, they could.

I don't know about 'assume', but it's as likely a motivation as any.

If Abobe were to somehow acquire a government monopoly concern 
there'd be plenty of folks insisting they gut it, as though that 
were the natural thing to do.  :O
