The phantom "Flashkiller"

About a week ago an article on internetnews.com touted the "Sparkle" graphics-rendering features of Microsoft new "Longhorn" operating system as a "Flashkiller."

Aside from the fact that the article showcases some very lame journalism -- most things are attributable to "sources familiar with the situation" -- is there any merit to the claim?

There are some great Flash resource sites out there, but not a lot of them deal with hard-core ActionScript development and, yes, Software Engineering with Flash.

I hope to offer insights, tips, objects and code samples of some use to those of us building Rich Internet Apps or just Cool Internet Apps with Flash and other homegrown or open source tools.

I plan to concentrate a lot on Macromedia Central too. This is a great new cutting-edge technology, built on Flash, that could change the way we look at desktop apps.

That's all for now...
