Most of the businesses who will be buying into the contribute option wouldn't have been intending on spending serious money on development. The ones who were considering spending money on development will probably still need help getting their sites up and running with either contribute or another solution, so I'd be getting up to speed with contribute ASAP so that I could provide services to that whole market of potential customers that Macromedia just created with the contribute and .mac thing.

I don't know about anyone else, but it seems to me that macromedia's plan to push contribute with a .mac subscription, and telling people that they can hook their small business up with paypals credit card facilities, is going to do a lot of small developers out of a job.
The biggest market we have as individual / sub-contract developers is small business, and now the same company that helped us reach that market want to take it from us.
Don't get me wrong. I love their work, but if they do developers out of business, who is going to buy their software?
