I have to disagree with Steve Jobs on this. Waiting for HTML5 to be fully accepted is just plain stupid. IE still has to learn how to support new web technologies. Flash has been around for a long time and I feel it’s not going to be obsolete anytime soon.

As far as crashing macs…. well that’s because of poorly coded flash files. I can say though that from working on both mac and pc. I do find PC’s to perform better in regards to flash. At the same time I do not feel it is Adobe that needs to change but rather Apple. Figure out why it crashes a mac and fix it. Seems like Steve is waiting on Adobe for answers instead of working on solutions within.

I don’t feel that an application should be banished just because it’s not as friendly on a mac as it is on a pc. It’s like saying Internet exploder will become a thing of the past. Not likely when you think of the size of the companies that represent their applications.

Steve Jobs is ignorant, and is obviously trying to push ignorance as a web standard.
Steve jobs may not be aware that the web was developed over the past 25 years, and adobe has been apart of for most of that time. I guess he is trying to spread gossip about the web’s future, and apple really isn’t part of it. Rich Internet applications are not really Apples forte. QT4 sux, and steve jobs should focus on trying to compete with JavaFx/Silverlight, and the industry’s most successful RIA platform Flash/Flex. Don’t spread bad information. Do you homework.. Microsoft did. They accepted, and Apple denied. What a chore it must be, to be a gullible elitist. Apple needs to stop melding with real industry standards before they are forgotten. I think of MacIntosh from kindergarten. Stuff like Oregon trail. I don’t think of the web.

Adobe needs to improve Flash and add GPU support for further competitive ability. If HTML5 will make it first, the Flash will have to catch up. Anyway alreasy there are web plugins with GPU, OpenGL support and they will become very widespreaded soon. GPU is the only chance for Flash to not survive in future.
And next few years HTML 5 will be a child, so Apple will be forced to use Flash Player anyway.

Kuba, I haven’t used Adobe apps on a PC for a very long time. And if they are worse on PC then they really have to concentrate on their QA. Especially Fireworks which I use all the time is just way too buggy. And still no fixes… They are waiting for me to upgrade to CS5 in order for me to even zoom in without hitting the keys to make it active a number of times.

I agree about Adobe. I upgrade with every major release and the apps are always really buggy. They really need to concentrate on make stable Mac software.
