This is indeed OT but... Here's John Dowdell's take on Macromedia Central. http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/jd_forum/jd027.html
He positions Central on a middle ground between the browser and a net-connected application, such as we can whip up with Rev. He makes a lot of "Trust." Basically, the Macromedia Central client is a kind of application installer/browser (if you will). It lets users see what kind of Flash 'applications' are available, downloads and installs 'em, handles local storage, handles communications between the Flash apps and to the backend(s), as well as ecommerce and other stuff (for which Macromedia snags 20%). Kinda sounds like a Rev app that brings over stacks. Wonder if they wrote it in Director!? Nah, that would be eating their own dog food. Echoes of the ill-fated Shockmachine and shockwave.com. Still, the idea of escaping browser tyranny through net-enabled applications is great. As noted earlier, Richard Gaskin wrote a wonderful paper on this years ago.
