Adobe-fedex Link Pushes A Hot Button


Adobe faces a wave of criticism from printing companies protesting a deal that gives FedEx Kinko's stores a prominent link on Adobe software. At issue is a new button on some Adobe software, released in June, that lets people electronically transfer documents directly to a FedEx Kinko's store to be printed. Some critics liken the situation to a scaled-down version of the "browser wars" of the 1990s, when a U.S. Justice Department antitrust suit addressed Microsoft's tactics in bundling its in-house Web browser with its ubiquitous Windows operating system, an attack on rival Netscape Communications.
