The Seattle Times: Microsoft: Why Adobe, Macromedia united for video-software fight

The Seattle Times: Microsoft: Why Adobe, Macromedia united for video-software fight: "Adobe Systems Chief Executive Bruce Chizen says it took the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks for him to end a two-year feud with Macromedia's Rob Burgess. Three years later, a new threat from Microsoft convinced them to combine the software companies.
