That a light way to look at it!
I would suffice to say one reason why new products or updates have been
a bit sparse on the Macromedia front of recent times, no real salvo
fired at coming updates of Adobe products or cross-firing at Apple for
Motion by Adobe.
I would say, "searing pain from the heat of 10 thousand suns!" (The
celestial kind, not the ones from Scott and his bunch.)
I guess you Freehand users better start getting good at Illustrator.
Fireworks also and dare I say it Dreamweaver. So, Imageready and Go
Live, mmm???
$10 says the ONLY reason Adobe bought them was for Flash.
I think the odds are a lot higher considering how the technology of
Flash is becoming paramount in distributing video over the web (Flash
Communication Server). Just the purchase price alone would save Adobe
heaps in research, marketing and shear bums on seats for a usable
medium which is going to be dominant more than it already is. But, it
is not the only iron in the fire of Macromedia it has lots to offer web
style production systems, except profit.
I would say Adobe will inherit or adopt chosen tools, re-badge or
integrate with its own products and offload the others, same as it did
with Aldus products Pagemaker, Freehand, and the photoshop equivalent
only available on PC aeons ago. One thing is for sure Adobe does not
hang onto or support 2 similar programs or projects, it rapes and
pillages or just offloads.
