| | Yesterday I have read in the newspaper that Adobe is going to acquire Macromedia. It was a big news so I have checked it on the web and I found it true.
http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/invrelatio...macromedia.html
This means that now Adobe will capture the whole Multimedia market. Let's wait and watch.

Wow, this is truley a massive and unpredicted(well by me at least) merger. Does anybody have any more detail than the article. At this present time those two companies are the two power houses in the multimedia community and with those two merged it could spell some truely amazing products. Does anybody know whether or not they are still going to be operating still under the seperate titles(like adobe photoshop will still be adobe photoshop and macromedia flash will still be macromedia flash) or are they looking at perhaps combining sepeare programs and coming out with a multimedia suite. Could you imagine the multimedia authoring power of a suite of those two combined(not to mention the price). I think it's great and the quality of product is bound to rise. One then wonders how much companies would be making if piracy wasn't an option- a lot more than they already do, that's for sure! Any more info on the merger would be truley apprichiated.

What I love about this merge is that now we might expect an integration between the two softwares making website development much more easier. But, now that the competition is virtually killed, they might enter into a monopolistic phase and increase prices. Hope that doesn't happen.

Wow. I love Macromedia and its Flash toys, and I simply ADORE Photoshop CS. What's going to happen with these big names now? I'm thinking that Photoshop is going to have flash integration, Flash will aslo be integrated with ImageReady for the greatest web design support. This is REALLY big news, I never expected it. GO GO ADOBE!!!!! And for 3.4$ Billion, it's a really big transaction. I heard Microsoft spent 700 million on Rare? Adobe is really rich now

Big deal but i wonder whats going to happen....I mean all of macromedia's software was a one and done deal. Their software had one purpose of which it did very well. However, Adobe normally links their software. For example, if you are making a DVD, you would need Encore, AfterEffects, etc. I just wonder if this is going to happen to Macromedia

Wow, that's amazing! I liked some of Adobe's products in the past (FrameMaker, In Design and of course Photoshop) but I also like what Macromedia has, too! (Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks). Now that the two companies will be one, I wonder what will happen next? Since Adobe usually develops for the Macintosh/OSX first, will that spill over into future products? By the way, if there is a name change - maybe the Adobe and Macromedia names will be kept intact under an umbrella name like Adobe Multimedia Group. Just a thought.

What i think is good is that, I liked, the fireworks animation engine much better than the image ready one, just think Adobe with some of fireworks not much but better uniqe things, mabye even an animating system like for flash only in photoshop stlye if u know what i mean because flash didnt offer much features except from the vector shapes etc, , so what im thinking is Fully free, image editing program that allows you to put transparent flash images in, with filders in it etc THE DREAM LOL

This is seriously bad, therefore no competition, just like how Microsoft is in the OS market. This is bad....  . If no competition, then prices will go higher and no one has elsewhere to go. Just like how 3/4 of Windows users have no where to go. (cept me, I can go for Linux, and Mac) xboxrulz
