Adobe sees its future on the Web

News.com has posted a very interesting interview that sheds light on the future direction that Adobe is going to take. In an extensive interview, Bruce Chizen, the CEO of Adobe Systems, uncovers Adobe's intentions for future development.

The company successfully harnessed the power of an earlier technology wave "personal computers" for tasks like digital publishing and photography. It is now looking to add Web-delivered services to its product line and is moving full speed ahead.

Adobe intends to combine the multimedia authoring skills it has in Photoshop, Premiere and other applications with the Web design and development savvy of Macromedia.

In the interview Chizen tells more about Adobe's online strategy, discloses his plans for Photoshop, and discusses how to live with Microsoft the monopolist.
