This is old news.

I found this on Adobe's site today.

Adobe to Acquire Macromedia
On April 18, 2005 Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: ADBE) announced a definitive agreement to acquire Macromedia (Nasdaq: MACR) in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $3.4 billion. By combining the passion, creativity, and technology of two leading-edge companies, we will continue to drive innovations that help people and organizations everywhere communicate better.

How about that!

I know this is old news, but it is great. I love Adobe and hate Macromedia.

so there could be an adobe flash know? and an adobe dreamweaver?

 

[will7]

I don't know, I think they will just let Macromedia get on with it. I don't think there'll be any combinations of the two. I think they just bought it to get a higher monopoly of the market and so that they could control Macromedia if they needed to.

I mean, Macromedia have just released Studio 8 and I can't find any elements of Adobe in there.
