Okkey guys, i'll not be unemployed...not in near future, not by adobe however... :-)
After buying Macromedia by Adobe, they told that freehand was not more developed, and now, with the cs3 version of illustrator, freehand will be discontinued.
Adobe has developed a migration policy for freehand and also for xpress, writing two pdf that illustrates how to do the same things in illustrator and indesign.
