The Adobe campaign is a disingenuous, dishonest campaign that Adobe should be ashamed of. Say what you want about Apple’s tactics, but at least the company is honest about its self-interests. By contrast, this sleazy campaign from Adobe is as false as the tobacco industry’s ads or most political ads.

The fact is that Adobe is just as proprietary and self-interested as Apple, but unlike Apple, it is pretending otherwise, shedding fake tears and making dishonest insinuations. Maybe whoever did the Joe Camel and Willie Horton ads is now working for Adobe. Even when I disagree with Apple, I can respect it. I now can’t say the same of Adobe.
