Adobe & Macromedia Merge Official
Good-bye Macromedia. It’s been fun. It already seems strange not having you around anymore. Change is difficult.
For those of you who have no idea what I’m talking about … imagine a world where Coca-Cola merges with Pepsi and drops the entire Coke identity. What a blue world it would be.

I guess I should have explained.
Adobe and Macromedia are the two big “creative software” development companies. Adobe’s claims to fame are Photoshop, Illustrator, and Acrobat (origin of the .PDF) ‚Äî essentials of the print industry. Macromedia’s claims to fame are Flash, Dreamweaver and soon to be, Flex ‚Äî essential web dev tools. Since the products usergroups overlap so much, they’ve released similar applications for competition but neither could ever beat out the marketshare the dominant product already had.
So they finally merged and one of the identities had to go. I know it’s wierd to think that I’m attached to an identity but I am one of those crazy Apple people.
