I don't know... FP serves a different purpose (at least to some extent) than PDF so it may survive (although without a doubt it'll have a name change at least). > I wonder if the Adobe Reader and Flash Player downloads will get bundled > together... I could easily see that. Although the Acrobat download is already three times the size of the Flash download I could see Acrobat getting the ability to read a rebranded Flash Paper, but no the other way 'round. Of course at this point it's all speculation. I vote that we just pull some of the Allaire-Macromedia hysteria from the archives and change the names to save time.
