I have to say I am rather amazed at the lack of response so far from Adobe,
bring back Macromedia .
One could get the idea that Flash's days might be numbered and what a pity
that would be, Silverlight?.
Reminds me of the british throwing away their world leading motorcycle
industry due to lack of investment and development.

I know (everybody does, after all we've had plenty of glimpses) that there's a
lot of effort going into flash player 10. I suspect (but don't know) that if
there is a 64 bit flash player in planning that it won't be until (or after)
Flash Player 10 is released. To me this makes sense... simply because a lot of
large corporations are slow to upgrade because of their IT policies.
If they have migrated to 64bit OS, it would also be great to see them using
the latest version of flash player by default ( if it's the only option for
their 64 bit OS, because the older players are not). If a corporate user has
already upgraded to a 64bit OS they're probably adventurous enough to keep up
with the latest flash player anyway I guess.

Anyway this is just speculation, but it seems that it would make business
sense from Adobe's point of view (even if you don't like the impact on you at
the moment - which I can understand too). And who knows... maybe we'll find out
for sure soon.... (one can hope).
