Adobe may launch its own office-application suite, taking it into direct competition with Microsoft. In an interview, Mike Downey, group manager for platform evangelism at Adobe, said that, although he could not reveal any plans at the moment, the possibility should not be dismissed.

Competition is always good.
I'd hate to sound this bitter at this early in the morning (7:35am where I am) but I doubt it'll be multiplatform - remember folks, this is the same company who got 3/4 of the way through and was almost ready to release Framemaker for Linux and then cancelled it. This is also the same company who treat *NIX customers who great contempt with their refusal to provide their applications on Linux/Solaris/FreeBSD on the x86 platform, refusing to properly maintain their Acrobat/Flash products and worse still, their refusal to even work with wine to allow better interoperability between their Windows product line up and wine compatibility.
