Evryone seems to be making huge assumptions about Adobe's intentions. It's fairly obvious that Flash is one of their subjects of interest, but other than the very general indications in the press release, we dont know what Adobe wanted Macromedia FOR.
Suppose they've had a debate in their board about corporate stategy and decided that they are going to be blind-sided by someone else unless they get into Internet products. Just suppose that they're thinking all kinds of doom are about to befall them unless they have a stable of server products. If that's the case, ColdFusion won't be a poor relation, it'll be the crown jewel for them! It'll mean the biggest boost ColdFusion's ever had. We dont know why Adobe bought Macromedia, and for all we know, the whole thing could have been because they wanted to get hold of people like Ben Forta and the 400,000 developers, in order to expand their horizons somewhat. To diversify the Adobe business into new areas. All this talk about doom for ColdFusion is speculation and until we have an idea of what Adobe wants to do, it's just plain silly.
