: code name Apollo, the free technology already is being used in 
: applications at places such as NASDAQ and AOL.

: desktop in a disconnected fashion, said Michele Turner, vice president 
: of the Adobe platform business unit. "We really believe the innovation 
: in technology today is... on the Web and that the desktop has stagnated 
: over the last couple of years," she said.
