Adobe to acquire Macromedia

The future of StudioMX?

Seems like Adobe is to acquire Macromedia. I could imagine Flash being one of the main reasons. What this means imo, is less competition on professional graphics software, and possibly the death or a merging of existing Macromedia products.

What's next? Will Adobe acquire QuarkXPress too, and kill all competition?

Well, now we get to figure this out: will Corel aquire Adobe, or Adobe aquire Corel?
on another note...

Yeah I hear, and to make it worse Gamespot is aquiring EBGames! dang....


OMFG!!!!!

Nothing is changing with 3ds or the various other proggies, but discreet for the 3rd or so time is changing their name. And Corel isn't a major enough player in this game to ever think about aquiring Adobe, and I couldn't see Adobe caring to take in Corel either, but at this point, besides Adobe and Corel, there's not much left.

I've always preferred EB over GameSpot.

This is a good thing not bad. Imagine that possiblities of the products. i.e = illustrator cs2 paired with flash mx 2004pro. Excellent vector drawing ability from illust+amazing tweening. Double the design team = merging of ideas and concepts. Doubt worry, if anything flash mx can hold its own for the next 5years easy.

The aquisition has nothing to do with Flash.
Moreso paranoia and eating the competition.

I feel bad for all the poor Macromedia engineers that are now gonna be shoved into quaalude land.
