Macromedia to test Linux support

Macromedia will begin experimenting with Linux support, releasing versions of its development tools that work with the open-source operating system, a company executive said on Thursday. I just hope they don't their port product activation scheme as well. Under their current activation scheme, you'd have to buy 3 separate copies of the software if you have a Mac, PC, and a Linux box. Normally you'd be entitled to run it on a work computer and a home computer, but unfortunately both computers have to have the same operating system. This makes me hope NVU will get better. It's already Linux native!

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised that Macromedia is extending into Linux development because of Nvu.
