How does this affect Adobe's support of SVG (scalable vector graphics)?
Both Adobe and Macromedia have been involved in defining SVG and both were part of the W3C working group that defined SVG. The combined company will continue to work with customers and partners to define a future roadmap for our products.
How important is mobile to the combined company?

Mobile is a huge new market opportunity for the combined company. Macromedia has demonstrated significant momentum with key partners like Nokia and Samsung and the combined company will accelerate this new business.

My take is that SVG will be fine as it is an open standard like HTML and XML. The big growth area that I see is the rendering of SVG in mobile devices that will be defined in SVG version 1.2 that is due out fairly soon. Many phone companies are commited to SVG so if Adobe drops out then someone will come in.

Did you see where the next release of the Opera and FireFox browsers will include an SVG viewer?

>I wonder if this will stop Adobe from supporting SVG as much as they have now that they own flash.
