Adobe Buys Macromedia for $3.4B

Surprising to me at least this morning, I read this:

Adobe Buys Macromedia for $3.4B

Adobe's software includes the popular Acrobat and Photoshop program. San Francisco-based Macromedia makes the Dreamweaver and Flash Web-design software. Combining the two businesses, the companies said, will allow them to create more powerful software programs that can be used across multiple operating systems.

It will be very interesting to see what integrated imaging/website design software we see from Adobe in the coming years.

I think this combination of companies can only benefit the customer, the knowledge and skill of both companies combined should be interesting.
