Windows 8 is a dumb product for anyone to waste their time on. :) On the other hand, I am hoping Adobe would have AIR for Xbox and Play Station. Adobe has missed the whole mobile front with its incompetent Flashlite and Flash-6-es-que player for Pocket PC. Had Adobe put more resources on mobile years earlier, its foothold in mobile would have been much stronger. I hope Adobe, with its new focus on gaming, would not repeat its misstep and make some waves into console market.

Seems like a dumb move for both Microsoft and Adobe.

Most of it doesn¹t directly affect us, but one item does: Adobe has decided to focus its future runtime development on top of the existing architecture, as opposed to a completely new architecture (Flash ³Next²) and language (ActionScript ³Next²). So Apache Flex doesn¹t have to worry about porting to a new VM/language. That should save us lots of time and distraction.
