Adobe to buy Macromedia for $3.4 billion

I hope this doesn't mean they'll end up gutting Dreamweaver and turning it into GoLive. *shudder*

I think it more likely that they'll abandon their own product and go with Dreamweaver. I use Fireworks a bit, and it'll be interesting to see what they'll do with that.

More of a worry - Corel bought out Jasc! What's going to happen to Paint Shop Pro?!

Really? See I'm inclined to think that's a good thing, as I loved loved loved WordPerfect, and just don't get to use it anymore. I had feared that Corel would be out of business, since Word/MS Office has taken over the world.

But I've actually never used PSP though--I'm a PhotoShop girl myself--so that will be interesting to see.

A friend of mine had a good point about the Adobe/MM thing. She pointed out that Adobe's big draw as of late has been Acrobat/pdf technologies, so having them in charge of dev tools like Dreamweaver and Flash could mean a lot of new ways for those technologies to interact.

We shall see. I just hope this doesn't have anything to do with the delay for getting my new software!!! :-)
