This would be very nice if it signals a change of direction from Adobe - and is wide, because it allows them to preserve most of their market share while becoming web-compatible. Because the money Adobe makes isn't from its plug-ins -- these are given out free and actually a distraction. It's from their authoring tools. "Adobe believes Flash still has a solid future here on the Web for some time. But when the Web is ready for an entirely Flash-free existence, this is surely Adobe's plan for maintaining its relevance among the creative professionals crowd, including developers and designers alike." Also, Brent Schlenker notes that "An even BIGGER deal for me is that it's available for the Mac, and is currently a FREE download."
