Macromedia's big announcement, Flash MX, gets a scathing review in the O'Reilly Network: "Macromedia's Flash MX seems to be an effort to take over the Web with Flash, and discard the useless bits that Macromedia doesn't happen to control.

Flash has been tunneling deeply in the innards of browsers and web site development, and its latest iteration (Flash MX) looks like a full-blown attempt to emerge and kill its host in the process." Yeah, but despite that, there may be something to the rich browser, if only we can get a handle on it...
