Flash MX RELEASED!

I went to download this morning, and was bothered by a few things...

1) Macromedia is still using the V-Box technology for ESD, which means you will need to use the Classic environement to unpackage the installer. I can't believe after a year they haven't carbonized that thing, or moved on to a technology that will work directly within OS X.

2) I didn't see any option on the ESD upgrade to get a physical CD and manual shipped when available. This used to be an option for $10, and gives you some piece of mind when spending $200 on a downloaded application

3) Their servers are SLOW. It took 5 minutes just to get the main page loaded.

With all this, I may just opt for the box instead of the ESD. The bit about needing Classic to unpackage is just ridiculous.
 
took me 20 minutes just to get to the download page. as we speak, i'm downloading it now. 889 bytes/sec and i'm on a dsl
 
Macromedia: Try before you Buy!
Me: Yea. Download!
Macromedia: Sorry trial download unavailable.
Me: Son of a #$^&=

gread plan macromedia. Tell the world about your great new software then make it unavailable. And i'm not about to spend the bucks until i try it first.

trials always come out a few days/weeks/months after the intial release. for nearly all software companies.
