Macromedia and Adobe to Join Forces!

I just saw on Macromedia site that Adobe has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Macromedia. This is probably the biggest one since HP “acquired” Compaq.

While I wasn’t care at all when HP acquired Compaq, I have to say that I am concerned what is going to happen with great Macromedia tools such as Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, Director etc., especially because Adobe already has simmilar tools in their product line. Maybe they will unite their products so soon they will launch something like “Dream Live” instead of Macromedia DreamWeaver or Adobe’s Go Live! 🙂

Whatever they are going to do with their products, I just find out why this one could be good news for me and other big Linux fans. I always said that Linux will be “Desktop Ready” as soon as Adobe and Macromedia port their applications to Linux. Now, I only have to wait for Adobe 😉
