I wonder about how the demographic of flash's userbase is spread out between pure animation, web stuff, games, and "RIA's". I wonder if MM are losing site about exactly why Flash is so ubiquitous - or do they think it's time they can capitalise on that and try and move it forward to becoming a 'serious' (furrowed brows all round) application development environment, It just doesn't seem any fun anymore.
