Macromedia going the wrong way

[linker]

i've seen to many conversations about Macromedia not building a Flash8 for linux but promissing a player version 9. I actually believed them but today i found this:

This sucks! i have promissed to myselfe, if they fail to give linux a Flash9 version i'm not going to wait for web developers to keep flash7 in order to nice to linux users... i will give the order to my web developing group to stop using macromedia software.  >

I guess they aren't beta testing the linux version but it is going to come out I hope. Flash is far to important to not have in Linux
