and i love fireworks... and flash!

I'm surprised it was a buyout, and NOT a merger... Adobe must be filthy rich to do such a major transaction. I wonder why macromedia didn't resist

NOOO!

As long as they keep Fireworks and Dreamweaver the way they are, I'm okay. It might be good for compatibility though, IMHO.

i see that as good...

IMHO Macromedia Products lacked the efficency of programs such as Photoshop. Photoshop was packed with features, and interesting + amazingly easy to use tools. Macromedia was lagging behind. I only like DreamWeaver and Flash really! lol

Adobe will for sure update the macromedia products and there will probably be big changes.
And adobe is mainly for pitures.

Let see what it gives .
