Ben Forta has said it well, "Since the announcement hit the wire this morning, the various ColdFusion related lists have been buzzing with rumors, speculation, and predictions. Of course, that is all they are, rumors, speculation, and predictions. I don't think anyone really knows what this means for any product yet, and it'll be a while until all that gets figured out." (Read Ben's entire blog post for more of his take on the acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe.)
I have been asked by several people what I think will happen to both Dreamweaver and ColdFusion. First, I'm not sure it really matters what I think. Second, I don't know and thinking about it only makes my head hurt wondering. I'm waiting for answers just like anybody else.
To that end, if I happen to spot any info online that might be of interest to those reading my blog I'll be sure to point it out. I have no inside scoop to dish out and was completely surprised when I heard the news. (When my boyfriend told me I thought he was just teasing me!)
There has also been the usual attempts to discredit any reactions favoring Macromedia given by a Team Macromedia Member. (I happen to be a TMM.) It seems to be popular belief that TMMs must at all times sing the praises of Macromedia and their products no matter what happens.
I guess I can't blame people for making that assumption. It does make sense that we speak in favor of Macromedia. However, to the best of my knowledge, nowhere is it written that we must never criticize and only say good things when it comes to Macromedia and their products. Sure, it is probably in our best interest to do so if we want to remain TMMs... (After all team members should like the team they're playing for else the other people on the team won't want them around, right?)
I trust that when someone such as Ben Forta says that ColdFusion MX 7 is selling very well (even though he couldn't share exact numbers), that it truly is selling well. I don't doubt him; the quarterly reports should be out soon enough to prove his statements to anyone who does have doubt.
To me it makes sense that a product that sells well will not be dumped as a result of the acquisition. Does that mean it won't be dumped? I already said I don't know; I have no inside scoop! I sure wish I did though...
In the meantime, I will wait for more news from Macromedia and\or Adobe and refrain from speculations best I can.

If it were April 1st, I'd think it was a hoax. April Fools lasts all month to some but this would be one elaborate prank. With that out of the way, you can see proof that Macromedia is being acquired by Adobe at both of their websites.
Adobe's site is running super slow right now, probably due to the load of traffic. Be patient; the URLs provided above link to the press release on their respecitive websites. Macromedia's home page is currently linking to a page on Adobe's website that has a lot of information.

If you criticize MM, they will lash back out at you, if they can get away with it. An argument, in and of itself, for continuing to criticize MM.
MM sold out because the price was right. It's that simple.
Well Mike, I'm not sure what you were really getting at since your post was so vague... To that end, I won't even try to interpret or make any assumptions.
Furthermore, since you left your email address I tried to reach mike.com and was unable. So that didn't help any to gather whether or not you're making a post of any credibility or if you're just trying to make trouble...
I'm replying to your comment on the slimmest of hopes that you'll make your point clearer and please do identify yourself so that we (myself and everyone who reads my blog) know where the opinions stated are coming from.
Thanks! ~Angela

On the sicko thing, at the bottom of your add comment screen, you say all comments are screened because you know some of us are sickos. Remember as a kid, you pull the petals off a daisy, he loves me, he loves me not. Instead use, he's a sicko, he's not a sicko. I'm really just teasing you anyway. Although I know the boyfriend didn't get that from me,LOL.
Ah, ok now it all makes sense. :-) ~Angela

I can't believe that you think your boyfriend would actually tease you. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING! LOL
The boyfriends Dad.(I am pretty sure, maybe, no, preeeeeeetty sure, uummmm let me think, no, I 'm sure I am not one of the sicko's you mention below)(( maybe not, maybe, try the daisy petal thingy, it will tell you ;)). ((( Ignore the twitch in my eye there ;)))
:-) He is such a teaser! Just in this case he happened to be serious.
You know, I have no idea what you mean by sicko's, daisy petal thingy and it telling me anything... Maybe I should just drink more coffee or something and it'll start making some sense to me... ~Angela
