Besides the fact that Central still sucks in terms of usability, the answers to the more obvious questions such as reasons for the very necessity for Central are still being left unanswered. The official MM whitepaper [PDF, 1.26MB] isn't terribly illuminating either :S

The article also mentions Longhorn's new graphics system - Avalon as a direct competitor to Flash applications (presumably using Sparkle).
