If I'm downloading a flash app, why not just let me download a real app? Programs run a lot faster when written (properly) in C/C++ than when written in ActionScript.

I wonder if this also requires you to have some awful licensing service running, and have apple software running that opens ports in your firewall.
All I can say is that when I try the "test drive" it just sits there showing a box with a rotating crawling-ants circle and the message "connecting".

I wonder why it's a https site, to prevent people stealing your beautiful artwork?

I wish OS X's pixelmator had intuitive paintbrush strokes. They always seem too harsh with me so I can't feather it.
