I have little to say about it, so i'll just let the head simian at Adobe say it all.

"After 9/11, we both realised that being enemies didn't make sense," Adobe CEO Bruce Chizen said in a conference call on Monday, referring to his discussions with Macromedia's then-CEO Rob Burgess.

As you can imagine, Bruce Chizen is very high on my list for the coveted 2005 Asshole of the Year award.
