Adobe has aquired Macromedia!!!!

[ironique]

Check out both adobe and macromedia homepages!! So what will it be called? Acromedia???
What does this mean to the software industry.

 

[Schadenfroh]

did not see that happening.....................

 

[GT4]

I can see it now: Adobemedia Creative MX Super Duper Suite 2007 Professional Edition
Specs: Every Adobe and Macromedia program stuffed together..... 5 DL DVD's cost $2999 or $2099 for the upgrade.

I wonder what would happen if MS bought AOL/Time Warner and Adobe/Macromedia...

remember the advertising in Minority Report? :Q

 

[GT4]

Neowin is going crazy over this not much here though.

dreamweaver and photoshop convergence. This could be really, really cool or really, really stupid.

Excellent! I am friends with the head of usability at Adobe. Maybe i can convince her to disinfect the web of that evil insidious disease called flash(R). [Montgomery Burns] Excellent! [/Montgomery Burns]

 

[SaintTigurius]

I can do that for you .

Can't say I like either company much, but to Adobe's credit they released Acrobat Reader 7 for Linux a little while ago, and it's quite a bit more functional than the old one, so they've done something right I guess

WOW that came out of left field, huh?

I guess this is good news...

 

[warcrow]

Macrobe® - infesting machines worldwide.

If they can combine the capabilities of Flash and the GUI from Live Motion, I would be a happy, happy, man.

Yea, i had it blocked via CSS on my old rig and havent bothered to install on the new one. What i want is a COMPLETE, web-wide abolishment of flash. Shoot, if you want vector graphics at lease use SVG. Hopefully, they will now push this and drop flash all together.
