OK, Forget Flash 8 Player for Linux. When is Flash 9Player for Linux going to get here?

Dear Michalengelo,
When are you going to be finished painting the ceiling at the Sistine Chapel?
Sincerely,

Can a dev or someone at Macromedia please give some answeres ...
Linux flash player is still on version 7, and we actually need these updates now ...

regards
Riaan

No doubt they are slacking with linux because they have some kind of deal going
with microcrap - they only seem to support systems that have their blessing
(which includes apple because ms has an interest in keeping apple from dying).

If you really want flash 8 or 9 to work on linux, do this... install WINE
([url]www.winehq.org[/url]), then IN wine, install the WINSUCKS version of Firefox
([url]www.getfirefox.com[/url]), then install your favorite winsucks version of flash.
Whenever you need to use flash, open the winsucks version of firefox.

Here come the conspiracy theories now .. this is sad.

Linux beta of FP9 should be out soon .. but that will will not include an
64-bit linux or 64-bit windows etc at this stage (only 32-bit linux) .. have
to wait longer for that.

Ugh. I don't like how Adobe bought out Macromedia.. Main reason is Adobe is
always for Mac and Windows... Will they keep Macromedia with always keeping a
Linux version of Flash? I keep hearing about this "beta" but where is it?

ADOBE IS USELESS :)

Who said anything about a conspiracy? This has to do with market and
distribution. You guys at Adobe know perfectly well that if you support linux,
that you'll loose the favor of microsux.

No .. you are a fool.

Do you really expect Adboe to leak information to you before any public
announcements?
