" Really? I think they're more focused than I can ever remember them being. As much as I like CF, it's not their best or most important product. There are alternatives to CF that aren't that bad. The thing that Macromedia has that no one else has is Flash. There's nothing else like it right now, and it's the sensible focus of their business. All of their new server products take advantage of it, giving them product synergy like they've never had before."
And that product synergy isn't the right way I think. It is like they are building products around Flash, and it is something they should not do with ColdFusion. It started with cfgraph. Yes that was a good functionality, but now .. it is expanding to flash forms, and flashpaper? .. It is just a personal opinion, but I don't see myself ever using flash forms. The PDF export is very good, that is one of the features people want from the product for years, as well as reporting features, and source codeless deployment. MM should be careful, not focusing to much on Flash. Focus on the core product. I do like Flash, but Flash has it's own territory, and fully Flashed websites don't work, Macromedia already showed it with their first Macromedia website, and still people complain about the Flash based tag exchange.
