Following on from Adobe's acquisition of Pixmantec, another "small" fish is swallowed by a big predator...iView, makers of the image catalog/management software iView MediaPro (for the Mac & PC) have been bought by Micro$oft.
Looks like there's being a bit of a shakedown in the digital imaging world. Doesn't seem to be boding well for the prices and innovation in the pro-sumer/semi-pro areas .

Nick,
Thanks for the update - I am now feeling depressed as both the products were (in my opinion) good to great. Not sure what will happen now but, as you said, it probably means shelling out even more money
