Yes, that's true. Adobe has just acquired InterAKT - both our technologies and the team. After long years creating software for the Dreamweaver world (mostly), we feel that's a natural step in the right direction. 

They paid us a decent amount of money, and most of the team remained inside Adobe: me as a Site Director, Bogdan as a Director of Engineering.

We're also very excited of the things to come. With this acquisition, Adobe is taking some of our technology and integrates it inside their products, so we'll continue to create software. But our desire to help web developers do things better is here to stay - and we hope that, inside Adobe, we'll find a very fertile ground for innovation.

They bought us for a multitude of reasons. InterAKT was a great team, with lots of web technologies and desire to simplify web development, and we were very well connected in the Adobe ecosystem (by working for Adobe, by writing articles for them, by being a very popular presence at conferences, by crating a strong community around our products, etc). So the acquisition is somehow common sense - in the last years, we've received a lot of questions from customers wondering why Adobe isn't buying us (and it was hard to tell them that they are ~, but you don't want to mess with the Adobe NDAs or with their lawyers :)).

In terms of our current products - Adobe will do some changes. The most popular ones will stay, and will be united in a new bundle called "Kollection" (including MX Kollection Pro, KTML, CSS Menus and XML Import Export). Others will be reviewed and their technology will be integrated in various Adobe products. Kollection is available for purchase for $399 and specific upgrade prices are available for existing customers

We're continuing to focus our attention on Dreamweaver, but we'll also start doing some serious Flex work. And our Ajax skills are something Adobe is interested in, so you should expect some sweet Ajax stuff coming from the Romanian labs soon.

We'll also take good care of the existing InterAKT customers - so we'll provide full support for all the InterAKT products at least for the next 6 months. All purchased products will be available for download for some time - but I would download and save them if I were you.

You will find more information about this in the official F.A.Q.

Now for some InterAKT in numbers:

I've also written a very long tale on my and InterAKT's history, if you have some spare time, don't hesitate to read it (I figured out that that's the only time people will actually want to read something on me, so that's my ego's only chance to get some attention).
