Nope, hadn't tried it.  I have no personal need for any sort of image
editing other than cropping the occasional screenshot.  Most people that
pretend they need Photoshop don't really anyway, but maybe being able to do
small things will at least make them think about switching.  I heard
Microsoft is working on their version of Google Docs, which could have some
of the same affect I think...people who never really use anything Word has
that OOo doesnt but won't switch because they think they do.  Having a
familiar name could help them out.

Right, I assume they haven't really tested on every operating system and
every browser, but since Adobe owns Flash, it would make sense for it to be
in Flash.
