MS sold for a long time the OS for nearly every computer. And the office software everyone used. Adobe produces the Photoshop software every designer uses. You've got to make something with everyone needs to be really successful.
Plus, both seem to be in bed with the surveillance state, but I don't know how much revenue they get from that source. I bet that Google makes more money with government contracts.

[hidden email] Subject: [FRIAM] Why Adobe and MS stuff
I'm wondering what other peoples thoughts are on why it is that Adobe
and MS software has kept there spot in software. I have some theories
but wouldn't mind reading what other think.
For example:"Send me a Text file" never meens (RTF or plaine TXT)
"Send me a text file" seems always meen "Send me a DOC or PDF"
