Safari on Windows
One less reason to buy a Mac for testing. Go download the beta: http://www.apple.com/downloads/ With Adobe also pushing WebKit (Safari Core) in Apollo, looks like we might end up really having to support 3 browsers now.
Marc on Apollo
"When will Adobe/Macromedia learn? Why would someone want to lock themselves into a proprietary, closed platform - like Apollo? Unfortunately none of the (so-called) analyst, experts out there plugging Adobe - has brought this up yet. I’m not...

The Adobization of Macromedia Begins
Captivate 2 has been announced. Looks like price will jump from $100 to $599. Sweet! [1] http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/?promoid=pr_captivateannounce_100404
