TUAW (The Apple Unofficial Weblog) is reporting that Adobe is cutting back on its booth at MacWorld. The bigger news is they are also cutting 600 jobs, including Mike Downey; The Adobe Flash, Flex, and Air evangelist.
One of the successes of Macromedia (Now Adobe) as a company was it’s connection with the developer community. I think that his exiting can have an “emotional” (I use that word, but I think it is different degrees) effect on the developer community. Their passion for technology and development is influenced by the likes Mike and his blog. At the same time, it is jarring to watch the company that produces most of the tools I use to do my job, go through this process. Just another reminder of how bad the economy currently is.
What do you think?

Earlier today Mike Chambers posted on the changes at Adobe. Included is the official revised forcast for the company. It is lowered expectations due to the lower than expected sales of CS4.
