I’ve been excited about Apollo and talking it up for about 7 months now. A lot of the conversations I’ve had have been in trying to convince people it’s not just Central 2.0.
Well, it looks like Mike Chambers and crew have been getting the message across just right out at MAX. Although it’s been a bit eclipsed (pun intended, sorry) by the release of Flex Builder 2 for Mac, the Adobe-related blogosphere is abuzz with Apollo news.
Some still don’t quite get it, but at least they are starting to realize they don’t get it, rather than thinking they get it when they don’t. The funniest protest, in my opinion, is the fear of having one’s computer loaded up with dozens of Apollo apps. What? I really don’t get that one. What, is someone going to sneak into your house at night and install them? Yeah, when it’s released, everyone and his brother will be creating useless, crappy, experimental apps, which everyone else will probably install just to get the idea of what Apollo is. And then they’ll uninstall them and things will settle down and you may or may not have a few Apollo apps that you use on a regular basis.
Anyway, it’s good to see the excitement about it. 2007 should be fun.
