Say what? That's what I said when I read this post yesterday.. then I went and RTFA and it still didn't make much sense and then I read this article. I watched a couple of the videos and said "ahh.. thanks, but I'll pass".

I'm ok with Microsoft making a bunch of videos claiming that Visual Studio 2005 has some (101) features that Dreamweaver doesn't. Really I am. Competition is good, and if MS is going to push Adobe to deliver an even better tool then "good on em". But what threw me for a loop was that these two products have been out for roughly a year (ages in web time, right?)... and the datestamps on the videos are from the end of June. The videos refer to Dreamweaver as "Macromedia Dreamweaver" and imho aren't very well done. So why is Microsoft putting these videos out now, and why are these (paid?) bloggers promoting them?

FrontPage 2003 is "end-of-lifing" soon, so maybe Microsoft is trying to convince Managers that they have another product?
Maybe Visual Studio 2005 isn't selling well and they needed something to help it out??
Maybe Microsoft sees Dreamweaver 9 coming?
