Improvements over Flash 6 include a speed boost and support for SOAP. Here's the requisite download link. I took a few seconds to get it set up and the response is noticeably snappier than version 6. In particular, the audio/video sync problems in version 6 seems to have been taken care of. Now, I wonder where they hid that Shockwave player for Linux?"

    Now that is a great first step. Now once we get Dreamweaver, I can deploy Linux to all of our developers. Let's face it guys, Dreamweaver pays for itself (depending on usage, and in my case) after about 3 weeks. Mozilla composer and Quanta pretty much suck. Composer can't support frames, and Quanta, well, do I really need to go there??

    I guess, in summary, HURRY UP with Dreamweaver!!!
