"Bottom Line: For creating polished and cutting-edge online and mobile content, the innovative Macromedia Studio 8 is in a league of its own."

"Studio 8 is all about a total immersion experience and being the bottom line when it comes to productivity with professional web design. Now all I have to do is apply myself, because Macromedia provided nearly, if not all, the tools I need to make my/our website successful."

"This is an exciting release of Studio because they took an already powerful suite of products and looked at how their customers were using it. Based on that feedback they added features that makes it that much easier for you to design, develop, and maintain your Web pages. All in all, Studio 8 should be a really nice upgrade."

"The improvements in Macromedia's latest release, Studio 8, which includes Flash, ensure that Macromedia Studio will remain the enterprise's best bet for Flash technology development."

"The technology, market reputation, and reach of Macromedia Studio 8 will play an important role in helping us achieve our government-mandated mission of making Taiwan a global leader in digital content development. Our e-Taiwan Project specifies milestones in five major categories: broadband Internet access, e-society, e-industry, e-government and opportunities. Because Dreamweaver, Flash, and Fireworks meet our web expectations and needs quite well, especially regarding the production of multimedia interactive web applications, Studio 8 will play an important role in our initiatives to establish a digital content community in Taiwan with truly global reach."

"Students in our Bachelor of Science degree program in web design use Macromedia Studio to improve the higher end of their content-creation and design expertise. The new features in Studio 8 will help them to improve further. We find that critical thinking skills, a solid grounding of a broad art and science education, and the ability to grasp and utilize the best methodologies and software tools like Studio 8 prepare them for the world of work."

"This is the first digital generation, and technology is changing their lives. Studio 8 tools help to improve their fluency in manipulating digital content."
