Raffaele, the thing is nothing like Photoshop has risen yet, right? Little competition there unlike say, MAX. They certainly cemented their position with applications integration and the acquisition of Macromedia, which had some overlap with Fireworks and Freehand, even being web-oriented, in tune to the why of the whole acquisition. Corel vanished. They are also in a good spot in video due to Apple mess up. Avid and Final Cut where a reference and now there's... Premiere... My point being. Even though they are big, was it through wrong doing? I guess we can all point enduring pains in Photoshop, After Effects, etc, but the focus of their products is not VFX, but design, so I don't understand how you turn that in contempt. Plus of the package Nuke is the only VFX venue right? Modo is not quite there yet.
And your point about Maya being 3-4% tells more about the value of this division to AD than the value to Adobe. Anyways, I agree with Cristobal Infante to some degree, strange piece of news... Sent you an email Raffaele.
