From the interview (http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?

*****
We will continue to extend the capabilities of the core product in
each of those segments with some of the features that are available
in the other products. But, yes, it is our goal to continue to make
sure that we don't leave any customer behind. For a number of
customers who have adopted a product like FrameMaker, we will
continue to invest in it.

A number that's a log way short of 100%. But the middle sentence
does show a sense of humor.
One issue that concerns me is that Adobe seems to be betting the farm
on Web 2.0 while reducing the importance of print based and other
forms of output media. Perhaps that has something to do with
Narayen's failed attempt at Pictra. He feels he needs to succeed in
that area, to prove his machismo or what ever.
"don't leave any customer behind" reminds me of the US "don't leave
any child behind" education system. Umm, but what does that actually
mean, anyway?
