No...The e-mail refers to the fact that we will "continue to receive new versions of the software currently included in DevNet in your portal, as well as the DevNet Resource Kits (DRKs) released throughout the term of your subscription." which suggests to me that they are going to continue. While pure speculation on my part, I think the death of DevNet is just a way to increase revenues across their product lines. If you think about the cost of DevNet Professional (as low as $599 for one year if you own a Studio MX and $699 if you own pretty much any Macromedia product), it's less than a drop in the bucket relative to the total cost of the individual products. And considering that you receive full licenses (for one computer) of each IDE they distribute (Flash, DW, Fireworks, FreeHand, Contribute), it's hard to generate substantial revenue relative to the thousands of hours put in to each product. As a subscriber, I'm a bit bummed it's going away, but I think it makes good business sense for Macromedia. However, I'm glad they are honoring the remainder of each account's subscription length instead of just cutting people off. Regards, Dave.
