""probably cross platform,"
>>>>sorry....ther is NO way MS is going to keep WPF cross platform!!!! it may start off that way... just for the PR.... but give it a few revisions... and MS will be saying stuff like... "due to the limitations with on OSX (or liniux for that matter) WPF 2010 will be strickly for windows!
"Why Macromedia decided not to be a VERY big player in Web development, more than it is now, it's beyong me... "
um... between Flash, dreamweaver, and cold fusion... i think they ARE a very big player. do you think adobe would have paid SO F'N much for them if they were'nt such a huge player?

Microsofts WPF (which is STILL mostly vapor)
Mostly vapor? What are you talking about? Thank WPF if you have a free SDK now... ;-)
Other than that, I agree they've just been crazy in their pricing and waste their time while WPF was years away and Flash was the only big thing in Web. I remember when I browsed to Macromedia website to check pricing and read about the 20,000$ per CPU... Whaaaattt? ;-)
Now that Windows developers have WPF as simple as installing Flash, probably cross platform, better than Flash in a few things (while Flash is better for other things), even a Flash fan like me will have another choice.
