INTERVIEW: John Warnock on Adobe

[Grant <rowan@xxxxxxxx>]

Warnock: Adobe set to go portal
  
               Adobe's CEO talks about the company's Web
               strategy, and confesses that Quark's failed
               takeover bid had him worried.
John Warnock, CEO of Adobe, granted a rare one-to-one interview with
ZDNet UK Editor Richard Barry. He speaks frankly about Quark's failed
takeover bid, his plans to launch a portal Web site, open source, and
just like the celebrity guest, he has two new product launches to
plug in the shape of a InDesign and a new version of Photoshop.
  
"Only the paranoid survive" may be an aphorism made famous by the
boss of a certain chip manufacturer, but for Adobe's CEO, it's more
of a real-life experience thing than something cool to say to
reporters.
  
Very much the quiet man in an industry dominated by the egos of Bill
Gates, Larry Ellison, and Scott McNealy, Adobe's  John Warnock rarely
makes headlines but commands one of the most influential software
companies in the world.
