Earl- You make this MS-Apple font/PDL scenario sound like a good thing. I suspect Mike's analysis is more accurate: it's a political move, almost purely a market-share grab on Apple's part. Keep in mind that Adobe (and ALTSYS, I imagine) is still run by visionary types. But Apple is a slave to shareholders, and thereby to quarterly reports. That's a different universe, with a different set of rules. In a corporate strategy session it takes about 5 minutes for the bright boys to realise that brewing a PR storm gets a hell of a lot more bang for the buck than actually DELIVERING a superior product. I see little for the users of this technology to cheer about. David Lynn
