 <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;!--paging_filter--&gt;IMHO, this is really easy money. Acrobat.com launched in June as beta. There is no way the beta period is less than 2 months long especially for a website.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Judgement on Aug 1, 2008:  This did not occur.  The community prediction was correct.  Judged at S$0. -- The Industry Standard &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.acrobat.com&quot; title=&quot;Acrobat.com&quot;&gt;Acrobat.com&lt;/a&gt;, Adobe is competing head-on with online office products like &lt;a href=&quot;http://docs.google.com&quot; title=&quot;Google Docs&quot;&gt;Google Docs&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office_live/default.aspx&quot;&gt;Microsoft Office Live&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;/sites/thestandard.com/files/u98/acrobat.gif&quot; alt=&quot;Acrobat.com&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;50&quot; width=&quot;224&quot; /&gt;if Acrobat.com lives up its promise it should be a formidable competitor. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200805/060208Acrobat.combeta.html&quot;&gt;The site launched&lt;/a&gt; in public beta on June 2, 2008. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is a prediction that it will come out of beta before August 2, 2008. It will be considered to be out of beta when the word &#039;beta&#039; is dropped from its logo, or Adobe makes an official announcement stating Acrobat.com&#039;s non-beta release.  An announcement prior to August 2, 2008, about a future date for a non-beta release would be considered a favorable event for this prediction.&lt;/p&gt;
