I already hate Macromedia. I went to a big sales/demonstration a few years ago when they were demonstrating Flash4 when it came out (as well as Dreamweaver 4 and whatever).
The demo guy took a hands up "Who uses a PC?"
People put their hands up.
"Who uses a Mac?"
Fewer people put their hands up.
He then said "Well, there's still time to switch."
I said very loudly "Screw you, pal."
He then said the same thing near the end of the demo, that Mac people should switch over to Windows, and again I said "Screw you, pal" loud enough to be heard by all. This is from a company that makes cross-platform software, their sales people should not be stating an opinion one way or the other.
Oh, and guess which machine performed all their demos PERFECTLY? That's right, it was the Mac PowerBook. The Windows laptop crashed 3 times during their demos.
Screw 'em.
