Mostly, I can't wait for Apollo and I'd love to see support for publishing to J2ME/BREW to target mobile devices.

IMO Apollo will target, and probably very well serve, a relatively small niche (compared, say, to slightly larger "niches" targeted by Java, C# and C++) -- but it's a small one. Don't get me wrong -- I think Apollo will be great! We have a couple of apps that will surely benefit from it, given what I've seen so far, and I can't wait to give it a try myself. But suggesting it's some sort of tactical volley against Microsoft is just plain silly. It's not -- it's simply a product created to serve a single, specific need. Microsoft is not "losing developers," man. Adobe's simply gaining a few cross-trainers. I’m really looking forward to Apollo myself, but come on — it’s a completely different animal.

It's never done everything it claimed cross platform and each new version is like a box of CrackerJacks - there's always a new suprise inside. I am so ready to give Apollo a try.

The future looks really bright for our community. Announcing a Linux version of Flex Builder would be a nice warning shot across Microsoft's bow. Actually, it would be like the warning shot that landed right in the control tower. That would be sweet. :-) I agree. The future looks really bright for our community.

I think it's mostly customer focused, but either way, it should be a good time! I’m not sure how juicy it’s going to be next week.
