Rich Media question
it looks like it is. camtasia, captivate and snap x all make videos of your
screen and provide various means of adding annotations. this looks like a
professionally made video using elements of a real or even simulated
desktop.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "how the video on this page
was done" ....
I'm sure you already know it's Flash video.
As for the content of the video itself, it looks like they just had an
animator do some simple 3D stuff with screenshots, mouse pointers, and
screen capture vids. Pretty simple, could all be done in Flash.

Mike,
The video is pushed through Flash, which has been pointed at before. But
with the more complex camera movement; the change of aspect combined with a
pan; I would guess they took static screenshots and animated them in After
Effects or another compositing package. A good AE guy could've run through
that fairly quickly I'd guess.
You could so it in Flash, but it'd be a pain.

The hard way:
1) take fully designed photoshop files and rotate and perspective
transform the image(s) or toss them into a 3D modeling app.
2) import into a video editing app-- or flash -- and do your zooms,
pans and scans using the timeline and export to flash video.
The *really* easy way (like my dog could probably figure it out... but
then again he's a pretty smart pup):
Use Apple's Motion or Adobe After Effects. Import your images, rotate
on a 3D axis and pan & scan in the timeline. Export to FLV.
(the mouse cursor is a separate file. this wasn't captured using
camtasia or the like.)

I second that After Effects is used. From what i've experienced using
the program the effects used are all available in AE, but i'm not
sure how they did the writing in the form at the beginning though...
but it doesn't look like a movie, just a screenshot that is
animated.
