Lots more hand-wringing on the blogs today about an "alleged" combination of Acrobat and Flash PLayer. eeks...but then. i've also learned how to disable a crapload of the acrobat plugins. making it somewhat snappier to load.

Over on FlashAnt. one of the Adobe guys chimed in:

Hi.

The FAQ is poorly written and will be fixed.

We plan to keep the Flash Player small and focused.

We *also* plan on a new client code named Apollo that will work out of the browser and bring together the best of HTML. Flash. and PDF. Apollo will be very cool. (note: we learned a lot from the experience with Central.)

Regards. David Adobe (wow. odd to write that after 13.5 years at Macromedia).

So there you have it. Nothing to fear.
