Yeah...months waiting for the late release of the final Flash 6 Player (and with a MS-free Macromedia), if this buyout ever happens we'll be screwed.

On the X related naming frenzy, you forgot the X-Box :P

I'm gonna kill myself the day Fireworks become a Microsoftware and only.

Flash only for Windows / MacOS. Dreamweaver inserting junk code into your HTML and suggesting you to use ASP and ODBC instead of PHP and MySQL. Oh, no. This is hell.

I think I'm gonna buy a Macintosh MacOSX based. At least, it's Unix.

But they are VERY expensive and I'm pooooor! :(

I have a Microsoft-free hard drive on my iMac, and I always will for the forseeable future.

So if Microsoft buys out Macromedia... I guess I'll never upgrade my Flash plugin again, then. I don't think it'll be that much of a loss, really.
