Or, the world gets 'smellier'.

Methinks Jobs had cut some sort of deal with Microsoft way before he 
cocked a snook
at Adobe. The fast that ballmer will be presenting at the WWDC means 
that Jobs is going
to get a slice of the pie from the version of Visual Studio for iPhone, 
iPad et al, while
he would not have got a brass farthing from Adobe.

Or, maybe, the 2 Steves are in love; mind you, sharing a bed with an 
iPhone and an iPad
could be a bit lumpy . . .   :)

Let's at least hope the new Visual Studio is 100 times better than the 
awful MS Visual Basic 5
I had to learn at the University of Abertay: the only purpose that 
served was to make me realise
how wonderful RunRev was by comparison!
