Description: Macromedia's Fiscal Year 2005 results presentation provides a great snapshot of Macromedia's business.

My Thoughts: The biggest surprise for me was that Rob Burgess is no longer CEO, and is moving aside to let Stephen Elop to step in as new CEO.

For me its very interesting to see that Macromedia's efforts of competing with US (the actual content developers) seems to be working well for them, as they seem to be have sustained growth in these new areas.

Not sure how much of this presentation is fluff and candy, but it would lead us to believe that Macromedia Flex is destined to be a substantial product and not yet another failed venture (central anyone?)

For me this presentation provides an excellent high level perspective into Macromedia's health, revenue split, various distinct business areas, anticipated growth areas, among other things. I feel that the presentation is especially relevant for a company like Zarinmedia in trying to position ourselves in the technology media landscape in relation to the giants.
