Os pego aqu� un extracto del comunicado de prensa oficial de adobe , donde se responden algunas cuestiones de inter�s :
What happens to the Macromedia brand? Adobe recognizes the strong equity of the Macromedia brand. That said, it makes great business sense for a company the size of the combined company to align behind a single corporate brand. Over time, Macromedia products will transition to the Adobe brand. Adobe expects to keep and continue investing in key Macromedia product brands. Are there areas of duplication in product lines? If so, how will that be addressed? Adobe and Macromedia are committed to serving the needs of our combined customers. The companies are largely complementary, and thus the amount of competition between us is limited. Post closing, we believe the industry will remain as dynamic and competitive as it is today. Until the close of transaction, the companies will continue to operate business and usual. The combined company will not be able to create a joint product roadmap until after the transaction is closed. Do you expect to integrate the FlashPlayer and the Adobe Reader? The complementary functionality of FlashPlayer and Adobe Reader will enable the deployment of a more robust cross-media, rich-client technology platform. The combined company will continue to be committed to the needs of both the FlashPlayer and Adobe Reader users. How will Macromedia FlashPlayer be affected? The core tenets behind the success of the FlashPlayer will remain the same � a small download, high performance, and ubiquity. How will Adobe Reader be affected? The core tenets behind the success of the Adobe Reader will remain the same: ubiquity, ease of use, reliability and ease in viewing, printing, and searching PDF documents on a variety of operating systems and devices. Is the combined company committed to Flash as a development platform? Yes. Macromedia has made tremendous progress in attracting developers to Flash, and the Flash platform will be a key component of the combined company's strategy going forward. How does this affect Adobe's support of SVG (scalable vector graphics)? Both Adobe and Macromedia have been involved in defining SVG and both were part of the W3C working group that defined SVG. The combined company will continue to work with customers and partners to define a future roadmap for our products. How important is mobile to the combined company? Mobile is a huge new market opportunity for the combined company. Macromedia has demonstrated significant momentum with key partners like Nokia and Samsung and the combined company will accelerate this new business. Macromedia has worked hard to build a developer community around its products. Will the combination of Adobe and Macromedia change that? No. As the combined company works to build a technology platform, developers and designers are critical to our success. We look forward to working with all of our partners to realize our combined vision. Will Macromedia continue to use blogging as a way to communicate with partners and customers? Until the close of the transaction, the companies will continue their current communication practices. Communicating directly with customers is a core value the combined company expects to maintain. Will any products be eliminated or phased out as a result of this transaction? Adobe and Macromedia are committed to serving the needs of our combined customers. The companies are largely complementary, and thus the amount of competition between us is limited. Post closing, we believe the industry will remain as dynamic and competitive as it is today. Until the close of transaction, the companies will continue to operate business and usual. The combined company will not be able to create a joint product roadmap until after the transaction is closed.

Aqu� la cuesti�n es hacer caja, cu�nta m�s, mejor... Ni m�s, ni menos. Se�ores, esto es un negocio... Y ahora quiz�s ser�a bueno empezar a pensar en alternativas GNU/Open source a todo el software que ofrec�an las dos compa��as... Porque ahora ya no van a tener competencia.... "....Uno para el Senor Oscuro, sobre el trono oscuro en la Tierra de Mordor donde se extienden las Sombras. Un Anillo para gobernarlos a todos. Un Anillo para encontrarlos, un Anillo para atraerlos a todos y atarlos en las tinieblas en la Tierra de Mordor donde se extienden las Sombras." No puedo evitar recordar este p�rrafo.... Ni me extra�ar�a, que una vez as� las cosas, Microsoft comprase Adobe, o bien se convirtiese en su m�ximo accionista.. (Caso tipo SCO).... En fin, creo que la noticia es MUY MUY MUY NEGATIVA. Para todos. A ver si con suerte la comunidad GNU se decide a potenciar una herramienta de trazado seria (Inkspace no est� todav�a como para muchas cosas, y Sodipodi se ha abandonado -de hecho Inkspace es un fork de Sodipodi), y una herramienta para edici�n y creaci�n de SWF... Ya tenemos compiladores, y alguna herramienta para hacer animaciones.. Solo se necesita un grupo _fuerte_ y _serio_ que se decida a hacer algo "tipo flash", pero open source... Porque sino corremos _mucho_ riesgo. Ser�a interesante que apareciese ahora un grupo tipo el que en su momento compr� Blender, para Flash... Muy muy muy interesante :) Saludos. -----Mensaje original----- De: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] En nombre de Home gir Enviado el: lunes, 18 de abril de 2005 13:11 Para: [email protected] Asunto: [ASNativos] FUSION MACROMEDIA ADOBE bueno bueno bueno... ha sido todo un 'shock' la noticia pero hay que ver lo que de esta 'fusi�n-compra' supondr� tanto para nosotros como para los usuarios finales... que pasar� con el plug-in de flash? que pasar� con el software que estamos, la gran mayor�a, a utilizar?.. :S yo personalmente utilizo Photoshop y flash adem�s de Dreamweaver...
