This took me buy surprise: Adobe bought Macromedia.
“This is all about growth,” Bruce Chizen, chief executive officer of Adobe, said in a conference call. He said he expects the combined companies to grow faster than they would as stand-alone players.
I say it took me by surprise because it seems to border on anticompetitive. Adobe seemed to be playing catch-up to Macromedia in many areas, having practically abandoned attempts to work with Flash. It’s going to be interesting to see how this affects Adobe’s uber-bundle, Creative Suite, and Macromedia’s MX Studio. Creative MX Studio Suite? Creative Studio? I think it’s going to be Creative Studio MX. What will they do with Dreamweaver/GoLive? Will it be DreamLive? GoWeaver?
