Re: [flexcoders] Steve Jobs on Flash .......

 I am also not sure if it is true or false. But if you ask me if this
kind of
 statement is possible by Jobs then the answer is definitely. Please
 take a look at the video:

If the rumors about Bing are true, then this panning could also have 
something to do with Silverlight. If I were at MSFT and my role was to 
ensure that Silverlight succeeded in knocking Flash off (as Word knocked 
off WordPerfect back in the day, e.g.) then I'd be looking for chinks in 
Adobe's armor wherever they may be.

Why wouldn't he knock flash?

It's just commercial tactics.

You'd never guess he has his own tied-in development system to support. 
Why wouldn't he knock flash?
