Photoshop online annouced for autumn: another major software editor goes into online apps

If there are numerous of smaller initiatives running for the moment on that field, Google has been the first major internet company to offer online desktop applications, like wordprecessors or spreadsheets.

Microsoft quickly reacted and today it is Adobe’s turn to annouce an online version of their major product Photoshop. The main reason for such a quick decision to go online? Google. As said by their CEO Bruce Chizen:

“That is new (for Adobe). It’s something we are sensitive to because we are watching folks like Google do it in different categories, and we want to make sure that we are there before they are, in areas of our franchises”

This comes after Remix an Adobe’s web-based video editing application.

Microsft kicked IBM ass because they see that software would be the most important asset in IT and not hardware as IBM believed. If Microsoft battles on the internet field, they never had a distant vision.

Google is using no longer software but network, and it seems that the whole desktop based software environment will soon be runnig via the network.
Like Sun envisioned it a long time ago.
