The end is nigh for FreeHand MX, the venerable vector-based illustration app that became an Adobe property when Adobe acquired Macromedia in 2005. Adobe is telling FreeHand MX users that their upgrade path is to use the recently-released Illustrator CS3 instead.
Adobe product manager John Nack delivered the news on his own blog.

Adobe won't developer or deliver any new features for FreeHand, nor will it deliver patches or updates for new operating systems or hardware, wrote Nack, which dashes the hopes of ardent FreeHand enthusiasts that they might one day see a version that runs natively on Intel-based Macs. Adobe will continue to sell FreeHand MX and will offer support, he added.
To help ease the transition, Adobe has created a FAQ and is offering a special upgrade path to Illustrator CS3, for US$199. Nack also offered links to other materials to help FreeHand customers along the way.
