I think the automatic update is a good idea if they can get it down a little better. It's one of those things they should have done years ago. They're not bad if the program asks you politely and lets you schedule it. They did ask politely, but my cancel has apparently thrown the whole thing off and I'll have to go download it. They are making a lot of improvements. I'm not sure what people see in Flash myself, aside from the software is kind of drag and drop. The language isn't very good.
