Adobe is definitely taking a chance on the Flash/Flex/AIR platform play but so is everybody in the industry that's trying to anticipate the movement of digital culture into the cloud. There's a tremendous amount of change happening in technology and many players are trying to figure out the best strategy. Whether or not they can successfully execute on the strategy, I do believe in Adobe's vision as articulated by Kevin Lynch. I just hope they can keep the ship in order amidst these heavy seas...

I, too, hope Adobe comes out of this crisis as a strong competitor and an innovator in the software industry. Apart from focusing on their core products, eliminating the enterprise-friendly dead weight in their software lineup and focusing on bettering what the software does well rather than cater to every niche... I'm at a frustrating loss as to what else Adobe can do to improve. I worry that Flash, despite its continued use and popularity, will eventually falter and crash as Java did for Sun. I see many of the same promises made for Flash that were once made for Java. That might be what has Adobe scared enough to cut back on staff right now. They're trying to add more to Flash to make it a better sell. But what comes after Flash? I hope Adobe has the answer to that. If they don't, that may well be their only achilles hell in this crisis.
