Dates me a bit, but same sort of thing here. I bet you didn't think embedded flash movies would never catch on, but look now. It's got Adobe behind it, so I think maybe they are onto something. They don't make too many mistakes except maybe golive  |
Actually, I said "Something will supercede java; it's too resource intensive, and despite being mostly system-independent, it lacks the primitives required for media without building your own."
It's from Macromedia, actually, and I know the guy who built the predecessor to "Air." which was going to be a WebEx replacement.
