We have heard that Microsoft is going to buy Macromedia, and after that is
going to focus on flash with integrating .net into it and disregard Director
and consequently its Lingo.

I would like to hear if you have heard something, or if you have an opinion
concerning..

Greetings.
Devrim
PS: We hope it's just a rumour.
