Exactly, they won't make the same mistake twice. History is foremost in everyone's mind right now.

theflashblog.com is not an official Adobe blog. Let me clarify -- theflashblog.com is not produced by Adobe, the company. It is written by an official representative of Adobe, but it is not the official response of Adobe the company, and the site is not an official Adobe site.
