First reason is their release of AIR 1.5 and its "run-ability" on my main system (WindowsXP x64). The OS is detected as Windows 2003 but it works, so thank you!
The second reason is their delivery on the original promise of Java (my fav dev language) to "run everywhere". I can write code in FlexBuilder and it will run on any operating system that supports Flash Player 9 or 10, this includes 64-bit Linux! For instance I wrote an application that uses a library / project called Merapi to capture desktop screen shots using AIR and Java which works on OSX and WindowsXP; I can also be certain that it works on Linux.

Go Adobe, Go!

I could have said one reason I hate the iPhone, but it is an awesome work of engineering and a fine gadget. So to get on with it... I hate them because of their draconian lock on the addition of applications / features. Its not about stability, its about greed; so stop lying Apple. I could rant for about an hour on this and other messed up things Apple does but I'll save it, since greed has little chance of going away. I'm posting this due to two articles I read this morning:

The bad: Why Apple Won't Allow Adobe Flash on iPhone

The good: Adobe Flash 10 running on Android G1 Google Phone

Needless to say, but I purchased a G1.
