Very interesting news with on-topic repercussions down the track but not really a valid discussion point here and now.

If I can hazard a prediction, they'll obviously keep Photoshop and merge the functionality of Fireworks into ImageReady. Hopefully they'll drop the fairly horrid GoLive, as I think it's unlikely they'll kill of Dreamweaver. One development I'd love to see: keep Flash, but stick the LiveMotion user interface and After Effects timeline paradigm on top of it. Personally, I found LiveMotion *a lot* more intuitive to use than Flash's UI, and was fairly cheesed off when Adobe unceremoniously dropped it. Oh, and sorry...this is fairly off topic. Apologies...

Like Patrick, I had to check that it wasn't a belated April Fools thing. Holy cow. I totally didn't see that one coming. I'll be happy so long as they don't ditch Fireworks entirely. I like Fireworks and I like Photoshop, but for entirely different things. I'd be really gutted if they merge the two or abandon Fireworks. pix http://www.pixeldiva.co.uk ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **

They'd be fools to reverse the positive steps in that direction made by Macromedia in the past. If not, this may be the time for WaSP and W3C to fire up their engines again and launch a pre-emptive strike on Adobe. Patrick Patrick H.
