Adobe
plans to shift its business away from selling boxed software to a web-based
distribution model.
Chief executive Bruce Chizen told the
Web
2.0 Summit in San Francisco that money could be charged for subscriptions or
raised by selling advertising, a model that has
recently
been revisited by
Microsoft.
However, the transition to a purely web-based distribution model could take
10 years, according to a response Chizen gave to whether his plans were five
years or a decade away.
Chizen claimed that the delay in services being delivered over the internet
was partly down to broadband speeds.
"The desktop is a powerful machine in which to run applications," he said. "
But broadband, as quick as it gets, is still going to have some limitations in
the short term."
