I think if these guys teamed up instead of acting like babies they could accomplish a GREAT deal, mainly positive things for the market.

What do you guys think?

just the opposite... I hope they remain separate and continue fighting each other constantly... can only mean better products from both of them at competitive prices..... if they ever joined forces, we'd have the "web-design tool Microsoft" on our hands...

and that would suck.

I heard a rumour that Microsoft was planning to buy Macromedia.. but I doubt they could with all the stuff going on in the courts right now.

I can't imagine for one minute WHY Macromedia would sell.... they got a damn sweet thing going.
