Wasn't this already posted? I think it was, I replied to the first thread
Anyways, I'm not too sure how I feel about this. Adobe basically secured themselves a giant monopoly in the graphics software industry.Mike

Hmm...I hope this doesn't effect things like dreamweaver in a bad way. I feel like dreamweaver has always been better than golive.
This will be interesting in the future..I want to BUY Google API Keys (Soap).
PM me if you got one to sell.

It will be interesting to see how or if Adobe restructure the product range. They could drop GoLive and replace it with Dreamweaver. Drop Fireworks and Freehand and introduce Flash CS! Does SVG have a future if Adobe own Flash?

I don't know whether I think this is a good thing or not. Apart from Photoshop Adobe were behind Macromedia.

Indeed, this news is real BIGGY!
Dunno why, but I always was fascinated by Macromedia applications and their user friendliness. Whereas, Adobe is "boring" (personal views) on all the fronts, even with their logo.
I'm a self-proclaimed Photoshop hater :P Any idea what will happed to my favorite FireWorks MX then?

$3.4 Billion? *spits out cup of tea* geez, that's a lot of money... kinda reminds me the time when Microsoft bought Hotmail.com all those years ago for around $300 million.
Makes me wish I could make a site/company/brand that'd be picked up for a couple of million *laughs*

Woah, this is huge news. I'm a Macromedia user, but it will be great to see what will happen once Adobe does buy them.
