Just got back from this

[http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=detail&id=380739&loc=en\_gb](http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=detail&id=380739&loc=en_gb)

nothing shocking or groundbreaking but some interesting stuff the Northern European Director of Macromedia said

```
* Merger with Adobe should go through in 11 days
* Freehand isn't part of studio 8 maybe questioning it's future
* The new Jaguar will have a Flash dashboard UI
* Flash Player 8.5 will be available in 6 months
* Adobe does plan to use Macromedia technology to trim down the Acrobat product....thank god
* Going to make the player download easier in the future....probably the easiest download in the web but they're going to make it easier

```

like I say nothing shocking and most of which you probably knew but intresting nonetheless
