I'd think personally that it would be a real good move for Macromedia to get a foot in the 'nix door before Adobe :) And given that the OS X is as based around a 'nix core, I would imagine that it would now be easier than before to start looking at that avenue of porting the applications? I'm not that up on the inner workings of OS X to know for sure, just based on what I've read. > DirMX was necessary from the Mac perspective to provide an OSX version; > 8.5 included the 3D engine that got a *lot* of people very excited. That is a very good point that I forgot about due to only using Windows version, apologies to OS X users out there for ignoring that fact!
