  I remember when AS3 launched Adobe was making a serious push for it to be used for what they called rich applications. In other words Flash would not just be for banner ads and marketing sites, it would be the the underlying technology for portals and other large-scale data-driven web apps. I think they envisioned it taking over a significant portion of the web eventually. Talk about getting ahead of yourself!

  Flash came close to being a serious player. At the same time there were always issues with Flash taking on such a role...even if he had ulterior motive Jobs wasn't making things up when he listed its shortcomings.
