Kdyer Kdyer KiX Supporter Registered: 2001-01-03 Posts: 6241 Loc: Tigard, OR	Recieved this bit this morning in one of my e-mails: Quote: Adobe Buys Macromedia Wow. With $3.4 billion, Adobe sweeps up Macromedia and becomes even more of a dominant player. Since the news broke Monday, we've had a day to consider what it really means - which is a lot. Our team coverage includes details on the massive Adobe deal, plus a look at possible PDF and Flash synergies. It's huge, but is it good for customers? We go behind the scenes to talk to analysts about their take, and explore whether it's good for customers. Plus, a look at how one disgruntled observer swallowed his bile and learned to love the deal.

I have some of the top of the line applications from both companies and they require activation. There good enough programs that years from now they may no longer be state of the art, but would still be great programs. Right now it's easy to re-install and get authorization. But what about a couple years from now

However when I go to a site on purpose to view Flash there are some really great looking sites out there. There moving to the SUITE model though which is sort of good and bad. Bad in the sense that when they update to a new version you're stuck having to upgrade the entire suite even if you only want one product to update unless you want to pay close to the price of the suite for the one app update. On the flip side though you do get a few good applications in the suite for a price much cheaper then you used to be able to get.
