KIllustrator to Prevent Adobe Monopoly

Tuesday, 19 April 2005  |  beineri

So Adobe is about to buy Macromedia for 3.4 billion US dollars. Because of the possible antitrust investigation of the market for illustration tools company executives like the Adobe CEO and the Adobe Chief Financial Officer were eager to point out the strong competition with explicit mention of KIllustrator.

Somehow they missed that Adobe urged a renaming of KIllustrator (to Kontour) some years ago and that the development of this software has been discontinued (in favor of Karbon 14). But I guess that wouldn't have fit into their argumentation.
