You're free to disagree with me, of course, but Flash is the one asset that Macromedia has that no other vendor has. To me, it makes perfect sense for them to leverage that asset as much as they can, and I think they're doing a pretty good job at that. > MM should be careful, not focusing to much on Flash.

Is that a problem with Flash, or a problem with the design of the Flash-based tag exchange? I agree that Flash isn't the answer to everything, but Flash is their "core product". There are plenty of Flash applications that do work very well - much better generally than DHTML analogues - and holding up one example you don't like is not a valid critique of the technology itself.
