It worked in Macromedia's favour because I ended up buying the

I'm not sure I understand that distinction. I live in a college town
and all of the professors I know get their software at the academic
price. Many of them then write books with Microsoft Word and get
paid for doing so. I'm sure Microsoft knows about this. That
