Not to be alarmist or anything, but... Anyone had a look at
http://www.f---edcompany.com this morning?

"Big rumors abound in Macromedia land... word is the company is in dire
straights and that discussions between Macromedia and Microsoft are in the
works. Acquisition? Possibly... probably just Flash, DreamWeaver, and
UltraDev -- and in the meanwhile, kill off MS ASP competitor (not really)
ColdFusion. Who knows about FreeHand and Director... Layoffs imminent."

Not sure what the source of his info is..  Anyone got the scoop on this?
