Sure, but Adobe does not sell an OS with its apps, so its bottom line
may be significantly higher than MS... It is hard to believe MS can't
put VBA in Office for Mac with the shift to Intel, and it is hard to
believe _they_ believe better AppleScript integration is what will
satisfy corporate accounts, or simple workers who rely on file use
compatibility...
