<a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/kevin-lynch-at-the-ajax-experience">Ajaxian</a> has a great rollup of Adobe Senior Vice President Kevin Lynch&apos;s keynote at the <a href="http://ajaxian.com/archives/kevin-lynch-at-the-ajax-experience">Ajax Experience</a>.

Some important facts that really stood out were:


<ul><li>Adobe&apos;s push to standardize the crossdomain.xml file, standard in Flash, at the browser and client level making it easier to ensure security between domains</li>
<li>The 83% market penetration of Flash Player 9</li>
<li>The announcement of a new free, open-source Flash/Ajax Video kit that allows really simple syntax for playing movies</li></ul>

I really am starting to feel like Adobe is going in the right direction with their tools and I&apos;m happy to see them trying to address some hardcore issues which affecting RIA development based on traditional web technologies (ie: not Flash/Flex).
