On list, so many times we discussed managemente and strategy and Macromedia.  
For a long time I felt that there product line was way to diverse.  Very Good 
product with extraordinary potential but to many competing consumer interest to 
manage.  

What next.   Look to see a sell off of the parts.  Breeze will proably go a 
separate way maybe even ColdFusion.

So they can focus on their core products.  In this case I would
suspect that Flash+PDF is going to go somewhere.  Its something they
specifically mentioned in the release.  And if CF moved to MM -- which
is a graphics-first company, what would you call Adobe?

Conversely, CF has done well under MM's stewardship, I think.

But I have to ask myself whether Adobe was looking to acquire a server
technology company or a graphics technology company.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

People said the same thing when MM bought Allaire.
