New Steve Jobs Email: “I respect and admire Adobe”

He’s replying to emails again, and this time it’s about Adobe.

MacStories reader Josh Cheney has sent Steve Jobs an email asking this:

“Do you hate Adobe and their products (Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) or do you just hate their view on Flash?”


Ok, a pretty daring question. I mean, after his popular “post” Thoughts on Flash, it was clear that Steve hadn’t the best feelings about Adobe. But then Adobe launched the campaign “We Love Apple”, and now here’s the reply from Steve:

“I respect and admire Adobe. We just chose to not have Flash on our devices.”


So there you have it. Check out the screenshot of the email below, and remember that Steve doesn’t hate Adobe. Old friends can never hate each other.
