***This is an old rumor. A month old at least. I heard it before we announced our earnings when our stock spiked pretty well. I think that this hypothesis, that it was an attempt at manipulation, is correct. Macromedia, like all web based companies and software companies is facing challenges in this market. On the other hand, we have had our layoffs already. We have superior products in the pipeline. The overall economy is looking quite a bit better. I personally, after 6 years at MM, feel that we are more focused and more productive and more excited than we ever have been. I am working on projects that are going to make you all very happy over time and I think that is the future of MM, not as a subsidiary of MS. Macromedia is very well positioned for the time being. While I have no insight into the sales figures or the business. I am very confident that CF is doing well and that it will continue to do so for some time.*** -----Original Message----- From: Judith Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2002 11:59 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Rumors at F**d company Okay, does anyone know anything about this? http://www.fuckedcompany.com Big rumors abound in Macromedia land... word is the company is in dire straights and that discussions between Macromedia and Microsoft are in the works. Acquisition? Possibly... probably just Flash, DreamWeaver, and UltraDev -- and in the meanwhile, kill off MS ASP competitor (not really) ColdFusion. Who knows about FreeHand and Director... Layoffs imminent Any of you MM folks want to set the record straight here?
