The only thing that i don't understand, is most of adobes programs are free, so how did they make the money to buy macromedia who were a multi million pound company, just googled the ammount they bought macromedia for and it was 3.4 million dollars

[tbh imo no m8]

That must be a lit Macromedia was worth way much more than that.

[DaveTaylor]

They probably bought some of the company the area which makes money and left the rest lol

No problemo, Batman.

On April 18, 2005, Adobe Systems announced an agreement to acquire Macromedia in a stock swap valued at about $3.4 billion on the last trading day before the announcement. The acquisition was consummated on December 3, 2005, when Macromedia was finally called Adobe Systems [1].

Yep. Last year Adobe bought up Macromedia, they just hadn't got round to changing the loading image.
