Well this is going to give Photoshop a massive boost for yeas to come, but this could make it the Microsoft of web design. Both companies have good programs but I’ll be watching what happens.

hi there!!!

i agree with Seeker_952... they both have great s\ware but some small MM programs could vanish...

the nxt product could be called Adobe Flash MX Professional 2006....

i checked my calendar to check whether Today was 1st but isn't....

When I read this news, i nearly got a heart attack!
Adobe aquire Macromedia?

Doesn't Macromedia sells its studio software for like $1000?
And Adobe only sells for like a couple of hundred?
How did they get the money to buy over Macromedia?
And why did Macromedia agree to that?

This is quite a major change in the designing industry...

I cannot say how it is possible but the deal has been struck and done long time ago!!!!

well. that would be good because they might make a photoflash program and maybe it will be cheaper and u still get all the quality of both companies. i want FLASH!!!!

are they really going to change their name to adobemedia? you're kidding right?

i doubt they'd change all their product names.. they'd probably have the same names but will now have a greater workforce of programmers, and all profits are shared since its one company

I think this is a huge oppurtunity for them, a good break. I cant wait to see what macromedia and adobe come up with and as tsj5j said "This is quite a major change in the designing industry..." i agree
