Products can't be under NDA - only people who signed NDAs can be under
NDAs. Products are incapable of signing contracts.
Also, I have signed no such contract. Therefore it ought to be legal for
me to talk about such a product whenever I want. Perhaps the original
poster was under NDA, but that should hardly affect the rest of the list
population. If Macromedia has a problem, they'll have to take it up with
whomever violated said NDA.
