加了一个晚上的班，还是进展不大．但是看到了这个令人震惊的消息．Adobe and Macromedia．

具体的交易细节如下：

Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq: ADBE) has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Macromedia (Nasdaq: MACR) in an all-stock transaction valued at approximately $3.4 billion. Under the terms of the agreement, which has been approved by both boards of directors, Macromedia stockholders will receive, at a fixed exchange ratio, 0.69 shares of Adobe common stock for every share of Macromedia common stock in a tax-free exchange. Based on Adobe’s and Macromedia’s closing prices on Friday April 15, 2005, this represents a price of $41.86 per share of Macromedia common stock. (Copy from Adobe)

Adobe 和 Macromedia 都是令人喜欢的公司．这个年代用计算机的人恐怕没有人没用过Acrobat Reader,设计过网页的人怕是也都用"网页设计三剑客"．毫无疑问，一个软件巨人诞生了．从04年到现在，并购的消息不断传来．看来，这是个并购/合并的年代．
