We had a bunch of apps tied together, on a parallel dev cycle, with tight
links between them:

--  ColdFusion Server: core serverside component
--  Dreamweaver: creates text files, but also serverside instructions
--  Flash: creates something as viewable as text, but richer than text

On those three legs of the stool there are other things being built, such
as the Communications Server and Remoting Server, and other things still in
the works.

(These aren't irreplaceable legs... you can go out to ASP or PHP instead of
CF, or can use a text editor instead of DW, or don't need to use SWF at
all... those three just work particularly well together for ubiquitous
interface delivery.)

Director's strengths are in other areas -- standalone apps and destination
environments, particularly. It had also just shipped a major version a few
months before. That's why it's not tied into that initial MX launch.

We're currently in a Director development round, but won't be able to
announce anything until it's close enough to deliver that we don't get
burned if glitches arise.

(I've been on vacation recently, and am back in the office this week, but
will be on sabbatical the rest of the summer... catch ya in autumn.)
