ADOBE ACQUIRED MACROMEDIA

Yes, this is official !!! I could've never imagined the aquisition of macromedia, and that too by none other by the only major rival 'Adobe' !!
Adobe buys Macromedia

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: ADBE) announced the aquisition of Macromedia (Nasdaq: MACR) in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $3.4 billion.

The Macromedia corporate brand will immediately be retired....
Upon seeing the logo on Macromedia.com: "Adobe | Formerly Macromedia", it just doesn't feel the same.
I think they should have left the brand alone.

Yes, and as far as I know you must own Adobe Creative Suite AND Macromedia Studio so you can upgrade for the price of $899 or if your not upgrading then as you said- it's $1899.
