Should I still buy Macromedia Studio MX?

I was all set to buy Macromedia Studio MX at work, but not sure now they've been bought by Adobe. The idea of getting a bundle that includes Photoshop and Dreamweaver would be ideal...

I'm guessing they'll have an upgrade path anyway, even if I do buy now.

Strong indications are that an MX Studio 2005 version is only 2-4 months away... Adobe have also stated that they'll run the existing products for a while.

I think there will be an upgrade path so if you need it now, get it now. If you can afford to wait for 10-12 weeks to see how things pan out with the next release, then hold your horses -- pardner! 🙂

Great. I was considering buying Studio MX 2004, but think I'll hang on and get MX 2005. Fingers crossed for better Macintosh performance!

Ok, thanks. Hmm, I didn't know there was a new version out soon. I really need it now, so I'm going to have to buy, then get an upgrade. Ouch.
