More speculation: Macromedia and Allaire have been alike in their aim to simplify and
speed up web development. Spectra's a good idea and a good product but it's not quite
simple or cheap enough to sell to as many people as Dreamweaver, Flash or even
ColdFusion. It wouldn't be surprising to see Spectra pushed in that direction or
integrated into UltraDev/Studio to hide its complexity.
I also see Spectra functions being benefitial to smaller scale sites in a shared
server environment. If ColdFusion could provide Spectra-like services at that level,
it would be a boon to all CF developers and a competitive advantage. Spectra's pent
up serving only higher end, dedicated server sites as it is.

Pure speculation on my part. If we're going to speculate about what they are
going to do then lets speculate big. It makes the most sense. I predicted
the Macromedia/Allaire merge about 6months before it happened. It just made
sense.
