Adobe stock Flashes up

Wall Street seems happy with the latest report from Flash purveyor Adobe Systems, with the stock jumping a couple bucks plus change (to about $43 per share in morning trading), a 52-week high. As Microsoft struggles a bit to get its creative-software act together, Adobe announced today that it was on track to ship new versions of its Creative Suite line, the kind of stick-to-the-schedule stuff that warms analysts’ hearts.

Update: Larry Dignan at ZD Net adds more from the conf call, with a focus on Flash.
