Central has been out for a while, and is it now fair to say its just a big flop? Just seems like it to me - not much has been added/developed for it, some bugs in it, etc. Is MM still trying to push it as a real platform for the net-connected desktop at the same time they push Flex/Flash for the actual web?
I've also always wondered what real advantage Central has over the general web 1.0 and web 2.0? The apps developed for it that I have seen could also have been done with Flex/Flash since that can also be a "united environment". Plus, it's a download, which is a major disadvantage, when you can get the same use out of Web pages already out there. So really, Central seems just like a glorified browser, where instead of surfing directly to HTML and Flash pages, you have to install Central applications which connect to internet based data. Has anyone else thought the same thing or am I not understanding something about Central? Personally, the best thing about Central I have found is certainly not the Movie Finder (I can do that with MovieFone.com) but a simple little game addicting someone developed for it called "Clicks" - but then, that could also have been in a Web page. I guess I can play Clicks when not on the net though, big advantage of Central I guess!
