Multithreading (actually, it is a psudo-thread using child workers) was talked about publicly at MAX a few months ago. They have not committed to anything, but they did state that they have it on their current roadmap. To us, that means that we may see it in a future release of the FP (hopefully

Agreed, I do not believe we need Flash Player to be opened source to do great stuff with Apache Flex, as I think you mentioned before Alex the cost for Flex is now 0 since the community will be developing so even with the Flash Player as it is we should be able to keep pushing Flex further than Ado

Even then, I doubt we will ever see the Flash Player Open-Sourced. Adobe depends on a LOT of 3rd party licensed code in the FP, all of which would not be available should the technology become open. An open-source FP would be the same FP we see today. We have our limitations, and we know what th

Jeffry's correct. Adobe is in the business to make money. They make great tools because those tools sell and make money. The Flashplayer is one of the most ubiquitous platforms for distributing content created via the tools that Adobe makes and sells, so they have no incentive to give the FP awa

the same is about all java ecosystem and .net ecosystem. I can not see the difference. There is no serious alternative to Oracle Java and his alternative OpenJDK (I know there is IBM but who uses is apart from taking it as bonus to other software from IBM).
