They also took over "DrumBeat" - and released it as "UltraDev" - free with
the current release of DW judging from the reports here. Macromedia are
pretty smart at their takeovers - they have their own "larger picture" in
mind and are doing a GREAT job of recognising that web design is now bigger
than a single person. They are building tools to suit different
professions, yet which interact (BIG use of "style sheets" and "templates").
Homesite may be relabled, but it won't die.
Now for the strict Homesite users, they MAY have a problem, esp if it is
released ONLY as part of Dreamweaver, although I don't think they'd be
stupid enough to do that.
