"SAN JOSE, Calif. - Dec. 5, 2005 -</b> Adobe Systems Incorporated today
announced the completion of its acquisition of
Macromedia, Inc. The transaction was finalized on Saturday, Dec. 3,
2005...<br>
This week the company will begin executing the planned integration of
the two companies' operations, networks and customer care organizations
to ensure a smooth transition and immediate value for customers,
partners and investors. As part of the initial integration of product
portfolios, Adobe today announced three new product bundles that
combine the design and publishing power of Adobe® Creative Suite 2 and
Adobe video tools with the interactive strength of just-released
Macromedia Flash Professional 8 and Macromedia Studio 8 software..."<br>

<br>
"...the Adobe Design Bundle combines Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium
with Flash Professional 8 software; the Adobe Web Bundle brings
together Adobe Creative Suite 2 Premium and Studio 8; and the Adobe
Video Bundle delivers Adobe video solutions coupled with Flash
Professional 8. The Adobe Design Bundle and Web Bundle are available
for purchase today and the Adobe Video Bundle is expected to ship in
early 2006."<br>

I bet we education buyers will find prices reflect Adobe price
structures, not Macromedia!<br>
