Prediction season
Prediction season: Just a heads-up that we may be seeing alarming posts over the next few weeks, as everyone with a vested interest in the software tries to imagine the future. Here, Timothy Gray writes of a future that looks plausible to him, while David Mendels writes of direct action he and the company are already taking to bring about other, better futures. No blame -- lots of us have lots at stake in this whole area, inside and outside the company -- I'd expect more such threads over the next few weeks, entirely understandable. But keeping aware of source information (FAQs, PRs, blogs etc) and checking how people know what they say they know, those are two habits that will lessen the confusion and worry online for everyone.

Entirely understandable. Macromedia were formally restricted from making any statements regarding their intended future direction until the acquisition was complete. This created an information vacuum.
Now the restrictions have been lifted, all you can tell us about your strategy is that in a few years the ubiquitous platform will do .pdf!
Ok, what happens in the meantime? I think that we're missing something? You've got to tell us more about this ubiquitous platform for a start. You've got to complete the flash platform jigsaw.
Is it any wonder that people are attempting to fill the void?
