AppleInsider | Adobe-Apple war on Flash reminiscent of PostScript struggle:

“Three years of mounting tensions between Apple and Adobe Systems over the availability of Flash on devices running the iPhone OS have exploded into a battle of scathing attacks in both directions. Adobe is now advertising its ‘love’ for Apple, despite enumerating the company’s sins that it hates.

The character of the attacks in today’s Flash Wars seems extraordinary, but is certainly not unprecedented, as sources familiar with the events from two decades ago remind us. That’s because this latest skirmish isn’t the first time Apple has sent Adobe into wildly frothy hysterics due to a perceived jilting.”

(Via AppleInsider.)

Very good piece giving the history of this and another Apple-Adobe war. Read this to get an idea of what happened so far.
