I think Adobe is trying to make the browser a platform for their own tech.  As Adobe is not on friendly terms with MS it may also simply be a case of "enemy of my enemy is my friend".
 
I'm just thankful they released the sources ; )

As for Tamarin, I'm curious how Mozilla will be able to integrate this

in SpiderMonkey, given that's basically the whole Flash9 AVM2, expect

Flash-specific APIs. It's indeed interesting to see the complete VM

sources being available, especially since I've been reverse-engineering

the Flash9 bytecode some months ago when working on haXe/Flash9 support.


This is indeed interesting that they contributed their VM.  Would you think they
would (in the future) attempt to unify the VMs and have a single VM for Flash and
_javascript_ operating in the browser?  I wonder whether they will contribute this
to the WebKit project too since they are using WebKit for Apollo.
