Oh please

Apple buy Adobe? They would never deplete their cash that much.
Adobe would be very expensive. And as for the comment about Adobe certainly selling more than half to Windows users, that's barely true,
but not nearly as much as people think. It's pretty close to half.

Apple sells a very strong application for Windows. Filemaker Pro. It's
very popular and large Enterprises use it rather than Microsoft
solutions in that space. So don't count Apple out even if they were to
buy Adobe.

I'd think Apple would be smart to buy Sun instead to keep it out of
IBM's hands, and to give them an edge in the enterprise they've never
had. Not to mention a large number of servers that run the backbone
of the Internet.
