Adobe buying Macromedia Monday evening, 18 April 2005

There are some thing you never expect. Maybe this is something I should have but I really had no idea until now.

I am always worried when two big companies merge, the idea is pretty straight forward- two big companies become one, loose some staff, increase share prices. How it works out is often not quite so straight forward.

These are two companies that both make great products, both for a broadly similar market. Many agencies, and web outfits will be familiar with StudioMX and Creative Suite. How will this affect products, prices and the company culture? Only time can tell.
