Jobs is nuts if he thinks Apple ANYTHING is "open". Apple is more closed than Microsoft, whom everyone loves to bash for their proprietary, closed-source product line.

Yes, this reality will piss off the latte-sipping, corduroy-blazer-wearing, Volvo-driving, tree-hugging Apple crowd over in Cambridge who pay thousands of dollars for anything with an Apple logo on it because "it's not the evil Microsoft" and to impress their friends, but it's still the reality. I personally can't stand Apple's arrogance to smugly insist that they're "open" yet are far more authoritarian with their products/software and seek to control everything associated with them with an iron fist.

Adobe's products are hardly junk. Flash has lived out its usefulness (I agree with Jobs there) but their strength is in video/graphics editing (Creative Suite, etc.)

"Open". Yeah, my arse.

It will be very interesting to see Adobe's response to this.
