Adobe Kills GoLive

MacObserver reports that after moving GoLive out to pasture after the release of Creative Suite 3, Adobe finally moved the Web site design application to the digital dustbin on Monday. Adobe stated that it chose to stop GoLive development and support "so we can instead focus our development and sales resources on our market-leading web design and development application, Adobe Dreamweaver." After purchasing Macromedia, Adobe replaced GoLive with Dreamweaver when it released Creative Suite 3. Adobe continued to offer GoLive as a digital download, but stopped promoting the product, and even made it difficult to find on its Web site. Even though GoLive maintained a strong and loyal following in the Web design community, it did not share Dreamweaver's level of popularity. Adobe is offering GoLive users special pricing when moving to Dreamweaver at US$199 for retail and government users, and $99 for educational users.
