The combination of Flash and PDF will be an unbeatable/universal display/output medium for PCs and other devices. Maybe the combined format will be SVG compatible. How this affects Microsoft & Longhorn, who knows. Whatever Adobe/MM produce in the future, Windows and Apple/OSX will have to support it; watch this space.

With regards to web & app development, this merge combines the makers of Dreamweaver/Flex and Photoshop/GoLive; quite a powerful combination.

This is also a battle between open standards and proprietary ones; the jury is still out on this one, but as with many things, it all depends on which way Microsoft goes.
