Wall Street Journal’s interview with Shantanu Narayen regarding Steve Job’s essey on Adobe Flash

I’ve read Steve Job’s note over Adobe Flash clash and was curious what would Adobe people say.

Now, after poking around with the interwebz for a while, I found this…

Shantanu Narayen, Adobe’s CEO, got interviewed and questioned by Alan Murray from Wall Street Journal.

So, now you know Apple’s story and Adobe’s story… Tell us what you think about this issue?

  1. I read Stevy’s assay and to my surprise, most of it made sense except the open part which, if intended to be hilarious, did its job perfectly. The best point was the sixth. This is very apparent in cross platform applications when compared to native executables. native is always faster, much more integrated, and reacts like other programs within the system.

    I also watched part of the video which was ironically ruined by poor performance/bugginess of flash player 10. (it ruined an entire movie for me). the CEO should address these issues because they’re the ones we suffer from. Frankly, I can’t care less about his “vision”. i do however care about fucked up plug-ins. ogg was never choppy, even when displayed full screen.

    As much as I hate apple, I’m more then willing to side with them if they make sense. fortunately for adobe, they have CS to keep them afloat when html5 takes over (which i hope is very soon).

  2. Adobe Flash isn’t just about video streaming you know… It’s a whole platform…
