Adobe to buy Day Software Adobe Systems has agreed to buy Switzerland-based Day Software Holding AG for around $240m in a clear move to bump up the Flash and Photoshop company's Web2.0 portfolio.

Battle to the death here for targeted content tools.
Day's CMS tools for web development/management include Omniture and are in use throughout the net.
