Yeah, but don't forget that waaay back when, Adobe had the chance to buy the swf format, and turned it down. The developers shopped the format to MM, and they saw the possibilities and ran with it. MM didn't invent Flash, but they sure had the foresight to see the marketing possibilities. When Adobe saw what it had missed, it went into catch-up mode with LM1, but I think it was too little, too late. I think Adobe made a big blunder in turning the format down. I can't imagine what LM would be like today if it had been in development by Adobe since back then, with solid integration with the other Adobe programs, but I'm sure it would be contributing nicely to Adobe's bottom line, just as Flash is to MM. And we would all be happy campers.
