Sphere: Related ContentAdobe has posted free public betas of Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and Soundbooth on Adobe Labs. All three betas sport new user interfaces that appear like the next evolution of the Creative Suite UI from CS3. These betas will work for up to two days if you don’t have a valid CS3 serial number. Otherwise they will work until the next versions are available for purchase.
Notable features of the Dreamweaver beta:
Live View — View your web pages under real-world browser conditions with the new Live View in Dreamweaver — while still retaining direct access to the code. The new rendering mode, which uses the open source rendering engine WebKit, displays your designs like a standards-based browser.

Adobe discontinues GoLive “Adobe has discontinued sales and development of its Web design software GoLive in favor of Dreamweaver, which it acquired as part of its Macromedia purchase.
(Via MacCentral.)
As I’ve said before, don’t count any application in or out in Adobe’s eyes if they have a competing product offering. But back in March 2006, Adobe did say they plan to continue to support GoLive and FreeHand. Continuing to support and continuing development are two very different things.
I’ll miss the web development application that I cut my teeth on. I remember GoLive when it was GoLive CyberStudio. I just threw out all those manuals last year. Sure, Dreamweaver had a lot more features when it came to coding but GoLive definitely had a more accessible interface and visual design tools. R.I.P. GoLive. You helped me a lot back in the day.
