Adobe recently announced their intention to acquire Virtual Ubiquity, the developers of the on-line word processor Buzzword and joins the ranks of Google who have a similar on-line word processing capability with Google Documents.

Buzzword is built with Adobe Flex software and runs in the Adobe Flash player. The application will also run on Adobe AIR an environment which enables the ability to work with both hosted (online) documents and local (offline) documents.

Adobe, helpfully, provide a FAQ on the acquisition at
