Thanks for the "heads up", Billy. There are some great comments on FC regarding this rumor as well.
I'd like to add to the mix a message sent to the cf-talk list by Matt Brown, Macromedia's third-party relations manager: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg77991.html "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 (stock) 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." Whether this is an official qualified response from Macromedia or speculative spin remains to be seen, but it does give another perspective on the rumor.
