I am so out of it...
Macromedia executives cited "extensive research with our customers" as the reason behind the decision [ to drop Freehand, its illustrator software], and not its impending acquisition by Adobe Systems--which current sells a competing product called Illustrator. Adobe announced in April that it would buy Macromedia for $3.4 billion.
Gasp! I only heard of this today! :-)
Is Adobe on its way to become an analogous Microsoft? At least the former (and Macromedia) make good software products.
(I hate Dreamweaver though)
