Adobe announces 64-bit Flash
Yes folks, it must be the end of the world. The next thing you'll be hearing of cats and dogs living together and the christian fundamentalists promoting gay marriage.
http://www.desktoplinux.com/news/NS5...33.html?kc=rss Hopefully it has fewer bugs than the 32-bit version, but I doubt it. This is still the beginning of the transition of common proprietary software from 32-bit to 64-bit. It's still rather amusing that most commonly used free software has been happily running in 64 bits for at least the past 5 years (and many have been 64-bit clean way back in the mid 1990s). |
OMG.. I have been installing 32 bits flash on 64-bits systems so many times that I would not know how to install genuine 64-bits Flash...LOL

yay, I think this piece of news has been posted at least 5 times here on LQ. But, it is good news.

The interesting thing is that they released the 64-bit plugin only for testing on Linux not for Window$.

That makes sense as 64-bits is mainly non-existing. Dunno for sure, I installed a 64-bits laptop 3 months ago and it came with Gawdforbid Vista in 32 bits version.
The good point is that apparently Adobe does not consider a Linux version as an aftertought, but realizes that Linux really is an OS and even more used in 64-bits that Windows. jlinkels |

It's all good for Adobe though; once the code is 64-bit clean they'll have no trouble building for winduhs either. |
