Macromedia Studio 8

Looks like Macromeda (Adobemedia?) is getting ready to go with their new Studio Suite. The studio suite includes new versions of Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and more.

Dreamweaver seems to be pushing hard with XML and CSS, as is the current drive of the webdesign industry. They have made their CSS editor more powerful, as well as inproving the display of CSS. You can now toggle certain CSS features for a better look at the documents (like borders and margins).

The biggest improvements in flash seem to be in the Flash Video area. The have improved the codec

Another interesting thing is that they have dropped the Freehand program from the suite. I have never used it but i believe that it is similar to Adobe's Illustrator program, or at least it tried to be. I don't know how they compare due to the fact that I don't really use either.
