First thing first: Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 has been released!
[MSDN subscribers] [everybody else]
Moving on...
[Adobe buys Macromedia]
Think about the entire spectrum of technologies covered by these companies...
- Graphic design and print layout: The ultimate in vector & rastor-based design tools
- Scalable web graphics: Macromedia's proprietary Flash technology, and Adobe's recent adoption of SVG support
- Web design: Dreamweaver to pull it all together
- Web development: ColdFusion has more ground to stand on
- Digital Media: Video production, special effects, digital audio, dvd production
- Digital Imaging: Adobe's proprietary PDF technology
As beautiful as these technologies are, they're still majorly lacking in any kind of enterprise functionality...
... which means they'll still play nice with .NET! :)
