Since starting at Adobe, I’ve been exposed to a lot of the new and exciting technologies that they are releasing…Flash 9, Flex 2 and Apollo! What do they all have in common? They all are based off of the Flash Player 9 run-time. So, just as an experiment out of curiosity to see what kind of base these future technologies will have in the coming years, I decided to research and crunch some numbers. After only a few minutes, I was quite pleasantly surprised. The next few posts will be dedicated to my results. I am trying my best to keep all (except for the conclusion and possibly the comparison sections) unbiased and simply matter-of-fact posts. See for yourself…
