Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is a technology that has been a recommended standard by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) for some time. Adobe has put a lot of effort into a plugin for various browsers and platforms that allows people to view SVG files in their browsers. Being a web based technology, it needs to be in your browser. However, there was this really nasty competing technology: Flash. However, if the two companies merge, we could have a beautiful new age on the web where the Flash plugin supports SVG so that it’s finally ubiquitous.

This is the hope that I hold for this merger: Standards compliance, ubiquity, and maybe, just maybe a slightly better chance for Adobe prices to come out of the stratosphere.
