Well put Isaac, I found the article itself badly written ill-informed and contradictory. To say that the last things business would be considering at present is nonsense. Macromedia has without doubt the best suite of Web Application development tools ever offered by one single vendor. How on earth Adobe gets mentioned in the same breath is beyond me, for instance ever suffered the joy of waiting for some 2-3 page .pdf file to load in a browser.
What blows my mind off the planet was the authors total lack of knowledge of our business, what he obviously has no idea of is the pace of legacy application to web application development going on. Obviously this in mostly behind closed doors as most are Intranet type apps. As Isaac mentioned the ways of the Stock Market are weird and wonderful and in my opinion make Las Vegas look tame. I just wish there was some way to respond to the bloody article, one persons opinion can do so much damage and let's not forget Macromedia's woes could easily become ours. I'm pretty frustrated by it all.

Actually I think it was very well said... Reminds me of the comment another friend of mine had about politics and poling. He said, the problem isn't necessarily that politicians never listen or pay attention. It may be that they have far too readily available access to the every fleeting whim of the general public which makes it difficult to see what is important amongst the deluge of information... I'm inclined to think the stock market is much the same -- probably 90%+ of the data that's collected, charted, etc. for stock market trends is rediculous, useless crap that nobody needs. It's seemed to me like most of the folks involved haven't grasped the relatively simple concept of buying low and selling high, so beyond that what is all the extra data going to do for them anyway? I should talk tho... I don't personally own any stock.
