It’s official. Macromedia is no more as Adobe has engulfed it. The Flash on the the site formerly known as Macromedia says “Adobe and Macromedia are now one.” The site also has the Adobe logo along with the tagline of “Formerly Macromedia.” So what does this all mean for customers?

Timothy Gray [Link: Chris ] posted his thoughts. I somewhat agree and disagree with each one. First up, Adobe is selling Macromedia’s Studio 8 and its Creative Suite 2 Premium in one package for $1899. This is a savings of $299 as Studio 8 costs $899 and CS2 Premium $1199. But how many people don’t have something from the bundle? Is it worth the price when you have, say… two or three items like Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and Flash? Probably not unless they’re older versions.
