Adobe Acquires Macromedia
"Customers are calling for integrated software solutions that enable them to create, manage and deliver a wide range of compelling content and applications - from documents and images to audio and video," said Bruce Chizen, chief executive officer of Adobe. "By combining our powerful development, authoring and collaboration software - along with the complementary functionality of PDF and Flash - Adobe has the opportunity to bring this vision to life with an industry-defining technology platform."

Well spotted...
Kiss goodbye to Freehand.
Adobe shows its hand and is getting mega-serious. Dreamweaver, Flash etc now all Adobe products...
I really hope Adobe dosen't phase out Dreamweaver, Fireworks etc in favour of its own solutions GoLive and Photoshop.
A sad day in my opinion. I love macromedia.
This certainly is huge. Is this the end of Freehand? Also what will this mean for Flash?
Flash is safe.
Freehand less so.
I think we'll see integration between the 2 product lines on certain applications, whilst others get scrapped.
Hopefully Adobe will address the inconsistant GUI implemetation that Macromedia is famed for.
I just hope they don't kill Director.

I can't imagine them scrapping Dreamweaver when it's such a popular app, but Fireworks.... well ImageReady does what Fireworks does, and it's already intergrated seamlessly with Photoshop so there's little point in keeping that.
OMG this is huge! I just saw this and was about to post it. The ironic thing, is I was just thinking earlier today that it would be great if Adobe and Macromedia products were more closely integrated (even though I realize they already are integrated some).
I completely agree-Adobe acquiring Macromedia is big news. I hope they don't kill off Freehand.
I like both the companies software and want to use them all not just GoAlive or Dreamweaver........I have the Macromedia Suite and the Adobe Suite on my PC but I don't want to give up one of them :( :mad:
