If they're going where the money is, they'll keep plug-ins. They make
a lot of money off of them--payloads, and other things they don't talk
about. At the moment, revenue from Shockwave plug-in downloads is the
only thing that's keeping Director on life support.

Flash, and the Web suites, are a bit different in that they make money
of box sales (including downloads). They don't sell enough copies of
Director to pay for the QA, so they have to rely on download payloads.
CS suites aren't so dependent, but I would wager it's still a
significant revenue stream.

Cordially,

Kerry Thompson
