Microsoft Office is pretty much the standard office suite for businesses and many home users, even though the popularity of alternatives such as OpenOffice and the presence of online applications such as Google Docs.

Well there's the chance now that a new major player could put its feet in the "Office" waters, and that could be Adobe.  The company best know for Photoshop and its Creative Suites threw out the possibility that an Office platform could be in its future, although there was no official confirmation of this.

An Adobe Group Manager was quoted as saying, "Though we have not yet announced any intentions to move into the office-productivity software market," he says, "considering we have built this platform that makes it easy to build rich applications that run on both the desktop and the browser, I certainly wouldn't rule anything like that out."

So is anyone really interested in another Office platform?  Is there anything new or different you would like to see in a newly developed office suite that you might not find from Microsoft or another developer?
