Is that a snow flake Satan?

Tuesday, November 18. 2008

It seems former Macromedia staff are busy shovelling snow in Hades.

The Adobe blog Penguin.swf has a nice post on an alpha version of Acrobat Flash for x86_64 for Linux

So all those running a 64-bit distro using the not so compatible swfdec might wish to give it a whirl.

Adobe have brought flash a long way, they've open sourced the format, provided better Linux support (though that's not to say it's without issues).
Hopefully Adobe and the Linux community work closer in the future on getting stable releases of all their product lines. Abode has a long history of Mac support, and I'm sure there would be a great following amongst Linux users, and help move an even larger user-base off Windows.

How many people do you hear that are 'stuck' on Windows because they use Adobe Photoshop or a similar Adobe product?

I wonder if this announcement means I'll see more adverts on the web now.
