You know, I don't mind change, especially if it's for good, however, there's obviously something I'm not seeing in the acquisition (from a MM point of view).
MM has a vision not only for its products, but the internet. Changing the user experience, rapid development, using Flash as the linchpin. Let's face it, the internet needs and overhaul at this stage, and RIA's show promise. MM hasn't just shown vision for its products, but for the internet, and how the user will interact with the internet. Thats what I love about Flex, it's the MM guys said "how SHOULD it work", and then built the language around it (but that's another discussion for another day). Bottom line, Innovation. Now, tell me, anybody, please, maybe I am just uneducated in the matter. Give me three innovations by Adobe this century. I may settle for two. Oh, and standard product releases don't count (that's just a response to user suggestions). A company that has delivered solid products (don't get me wrong, I like PDF's) a long time ago, and has failed to capitalize on their success has made a wise decision to acquire MM. The board of the innovative company has said "yes" to that, is that wise? I just don't see it, I don't see why, and noone has been able to articulate it to me without the usual buzz words of "exciting", "potential" and "committed". Am I wrong? What's the vision? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
