I think that the arguments about the goodness or not of Flash are 
missing the point.  The fact that a company like Macromedia is beginning 
to take notice of Linux as a platform is a good thing.  I certainly know 
many web designers and developers who are tied (like me) to Windows on 
the Desktop for applications like Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash and 
Dreamweaver but would love to do the right thing.  Once Macromedia do 
something Adobe are sure to follow too.  Oh and I know that I could use 
GIMP etc...

Many designers and developers I know have moved to Apple now that 
they've got their OS sorted and I have to say I'm sorely tempted to 
follow them.  Just think of the number of agencies and web development 
companies out there who would benefit from being able to move all their 
desktops to *nix.

Cheers

George
