The future of Macromedia products?

Does anyone know what's going to happen to Dreamweaver or the Studio Suite after version 8? As you may know Macromedia has been purchased by Adobe so i just wanted to ask if Dreaweaver, Fireworks and possibly the Studio Suite will be discontinued (obviously along with the rest of the products).

I assume they'll be continued for now as they're pretty popular products and have features the comparable Adobe products don't currently have.

My guess is in time some of the products that overlap may be merged with one getting the features of the other. Maybe Dreamweaver and GoLive become one product keeping the name of the one with the greater market share. Just a guess though on my part.

I did find a page on the Adobe site (Adobe completes acquisition of Macromedia) which talkes about the merger. A little more than half way down the page they talk specifially about the software and what their current plans are.

Adobe is discontinuing nothing. They are moving forward with updates to the entire suite, including Freehand, which many thought might get the axe.

That's what I would think too. I can see though that in time they may decide it doesn't make sense to have competing products and so may combine some of the similar ones. Then again I can also see them keeping everything and evolving the programs to appeal to different markets.
