  Dear Macromedia customer,

  As you probably know, Macromedia and Adobe are joining together to 
deliver solutions for our customers that make great digital experiences 
possible.

  With complementary technology platforms, products, and customers,  we 
are both focused on enabling the creation and delivery of compelling  
content and experiences across multiple operating systems, devices,  
and media. Most importantly, we share a common mission for the  future: 
to help people and organizations communicate better.

  By combining the passion and creativity of two leading-edge companies 
with the diversity and energy of our respective customers, we will 
drive innovations that will inspire you to improve the ways people 
everywhere are experiencing and interacting with information. We look 
forward to working with you, our customers, as we create the future 
together.

  The companies anticipate completion of this transaction by the fall of 
this year. Although we are currently engaged in integration planning, 
we will remain and operate as independent entities until the 
acquisition is complete. Macromedia customers should continue to 
contact Macromedia sales and support for Macromedia products and 
solutions.

  We  invite you to learn  more about the acquisition, and, as always, 
we welcome your  feedback.

Regards,

Stephen Elop
CEO, Macromedia
