Does this mean that the future Macromedia products will suck?

They may not suck, but licensing prices will be through the roof.

They are going to make you a damn VP before they figure out that you have been trying to get fired for well over a year.

I've never met anyone that actually paid for a single adobe product.

Companies have to own licenses : )

I'm surprised how long Adobe's lasted. They must be secretly owned by Microsoft and kept around to make it look like there's no monopoly in whatever areas that Adobe has its proprietary paws in.

There's got to be a less bloated way to view formatted pages for printing!

...oh wait...there is!

Adobe generates billions of dollars with their Enterprise products (i.e. what i do). Average sale is about 150k I make 3-4 of those a day. The retail product line is laughable but hey they had to start somewhere^^
