It looks like Adobe is continuing Macromedia’s plans to release flash on Linux. Hopefully they don’t flake on this. Flash support on opne-source platforms is pretty awful at this point. It works for the basics, but the only people who rely on the “basics” these days are banner ads 🙂
Flash on Linux would really make my life easier here at work. Most of my employer’s games have flash front ends and they almost never run properly in natively in Linux (they do ok under Wine).
Ideally projects like (or the other fl/oss flash projects would get some tracktion going and catch up with the comercial versions from Adobe (formerly Macromedia).
