I'm glad that Adobe decided to take the mature route. Further lashing out against Apple would have only exacerbated the situation.

In the end, Jobs provided a very rational argument and the brevity of Adobe's response lends itself well to that conclusion.

Here's one developers catalog of "lies and half truths" in Jobs' message:

FTFY

I can't really see how apple is hypocritical with this issue. I quote the text below from my last comment.

"Apple is not telling Adobe, Microsoft or any other corporation to open up their platform. They are only stating that they believe web standards should be open and not controlled by a single party."

If someone got a different impression from Steve's letter I think you should read it again. If you think I got the wrong impression I beg you to point me towards the parts of Steve's letter that will help me see my error.

Actually, while you are that he states that the web should be based on open standard you obviously missed the big pile of lies and false facts in his letter. Basically i'd say that at least every second "fact" in his letter is plainly not true.
