Absolutely pitiful [Posted on 2006-10-09]
Macromedia's former hold on the multimedia market has collapsed so rapidly one gets vertigo thinking about it. To think how intuitive and thoughtful their flagship products used to be, its a crying shame to see them left for dead. Authorware is the ultimate example of this. With an interface straight from the early 90s, totally counter intuitive methods (even the basic tutorial has you going back and undoing things that Authorware inflicts on you by default). This is a sad state of affairs indeed. And for the price of this software, its an absolute travesty.

EXCELLENT PRODUCT [Posted on 2007-06-12]
The best developer on the market for creating rich-media e-learning applications. Macromedia's user interface makes it easy to create highly interactive rich content. Highly reccommend!

Going, going, gone? [Posted on 2007-06-20]
AW is a great tool, albeit an aging one. Adobe refuses to discuss any plans for continued development of this product, so keep that in mind before you spend $2k on a product that very well may be shelved by its developer (the last major release was in 2004). I have used AW for years and love it, but I'm increasingly seeing clients and fellow developers moving on to other tools due to a lack of development and uncertainty as to its future. It's a great product, but I would do some homework before purchasing it.
