> Stephen You can see in the "From" it's spelled with a v. It's not like you heard my name and spelled it with a ph. You read the word right in front of you with a v and yet you still misspelled it. Astounding. ;)
> you're misreading the information on that link. And you're misreading the spelling of my name. ;) I've been joking on this pointless thread from the get go, but please, let's continue with our dissections, Doctor. :) > What in the flash IDE should require xp? Nothing. So what you're saying is that there are no discernable differences between Windows 2000 and Windows XP. If that's the case, why don't you upgrade to XP since they're the same thing? In the words of Stephen Colbert "I just nailed you." :) How do you know what the new Flash IDE is offering that would not require upping the requirements to Windows XP from 2000? Do you have a man on the inside at Adobe? Do you have ESP? Are you The Flash Whisperer? No. You can't be. Cesar Millan promotes living in the now and letting go of the past. > >From my standpoint.

You are insinuating that Adobe has some secret agreement with Microsoft because they are requiring XP. This conclusion is completely based on your assertion that there is no real difference between 2000 and XP, and your obvious underlying assertion that corporations are evil. Obviously, there ARE differences between the two OSes, and Windows XP offers more capabilities than 2000. > If and when they try to discontinue support, expect some > serious legal reprecusions. Considering that the vast majority of people out there are running Windows XP, it looks like Adobe is making a smart business decision. Losing the ostrich demographic doesn't seem to bother them. I mean, XP is built on 2000 so the new Flash IDE will probably run on 2000, but all Adobe is saying is they're not going to officially support it in case you run into trouble. Good luck with your lawsuit, though. :) Living in the past means you can't move forward. We could still construct buildings with asbestos. We could still use leaded fuel. You could be just like those stubborn Director developers years ago who refused to believe that Flash would take over and are now playing catch up (Danny, I promise I'm not talking about you). :) Please, hang on to 16 as long as you can. You make room for us forward-doers to achieve continued success and growth through your unwillingness to change. You're the Microsoft to our Google. And I know that comparison just burns you up because you're obviously somebody who views Microsoft as the evil empire and you're a member of the rebel alliance and Vista is like the Death Star. Or maybe you're a member of the Federation and Microsoft is like the Borg and Vista is like, I dunno, my Star Trek knowledge isn't as expansive as yours is. ;) > then you basically give up half the battle, accelerate vistas growth, > and increase the chances of MS success at keeping the internet from > becoming the operating system. I wasn't aware I was involved in an epic battle to make the internet an operating system and overthrow the tyrannical Windows regime. I wasn't aware that the internet was capable of being an operating system. I also think a television is not a cable company, but what do I know? I'm an idiot and my lunch break is over. :) _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
