on a side note, it's not macromedia anymore, it's adobe... anyhow, trust me, you aren't the only one wishing for this... but it looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel... allow me to share with you a small article on the matter: Quote:

There's no mention anywhere in the article about future versions. I certainly hope they're not all going to lag behind the Windows release dates, but there's nothing to say they won't all be this late. They haven't exactly got a good record for releasing Linux versions on time. |

Goldmine
I would like to see Goldmine ported to Linux.

If Flash player for Linux were being created for the first time then one might expect it to take a little longer to create a new product than to update it in the future, but that's not the case. The fact that it's taking them so long to update the existing product this time is clearly a sign that they will probably take a long time to do the same thing (update the existing product) next time as well. |

yes, there has been a flash player version for linux available for a long time... however, without knowing specifics, i wouldn't speculate on whether or not the new version which is due next year is "just an update"... it could very well be a major code overhaul (or it might not)... but regardless, the point is that it's the first time they are taking the linux version so seriously - and that means more work and energy is involved than if they were gonna put out a half-a**ed broken linux version like they did with v7... like i said, i would expect this sorta thing to be clarified in the release announcement... BTW, did you notice that the latest round of patches for the flash player hit non-windoze platforms just as fast?? |

Secondly, whether or not this is a "major overhaul" doesn't change the fact that it is taking a lot longer this time to update the Linux version than the Windows version, and there's nothing to suggest that the same thing won't happen next time. |

a windoze-equivalent flash player for linux will be a HUGE milestone for the linux desktop IMHO - i hope they take their time and get it right the first time around... :) http://blogs.zdnet.com/Stewart/?p=96 |
all this is about flash player 9, but the real thing i wanted to see on linux is SHOCKWAVE player, (a nerw vesion of flash was just teh second thing) hopefully when they have finishe flash 9 then tehy will start shockwave!

If they're going to throw all their work on the Linux version away every time there's a new version and start all over again with a port from the Windows version then it's highly likely that future versions for Linux will also be released late. |
