Bid Adieu to FreeHand

Adobe announced it would no longer be updating FreeHand Illustration software. This means no updates for the Windows Vista operating system, as well as Intel-based Mac computers. Adobe is bidding farewell to the Illustration software and hopes it's clients will migrate to Illustrator CS3. This comes as no surprise to those of us who have followed the Adobe acquisition of Macromedia. Duplicate products often result in the elimination of lesser. Seems Adobe is also not quickly rolling out the red carpet for Vista in general. They've been slow to offer support and just recently announced they are working on a postscript driver that should be available in July for printer manufacturers. Hmmm, Vista has been out since January. Could their lack of support signal they don't see a bright future for the new operating system?
