blogs.adobe.com — In the most recent blog post on Penguin.SWF, Mike Melanson notes that all Flash-based sites he checked recently, Flash 9 for Linux was completely stable. Now they're moving on to more specific feature tests. Here's hoping it comes out soon!

Why didn't anyone think of that brilliant idea before. If that was possible we would have done it with Flash 8, assface.I really hope it works well and that the performance issues (and resulting audio sync problems) are fixed. It may work fast enough on some systems, but it should get the same performance on Linux as it does on Windows..at least.

Flash wouldn't ship with Edgy anyway, it's not open source.

Ship with, no - one click away, yes.

Yeah, let me get right on that Jacks0n.

Perhaps because it's not ready? Having a million people hammer on code that should work is a great way to shake out bugs, but having a million people report the same 20 bugs that you already know about just wastes time and frustrates users

solaris isn't really all that common of a platform for desktops, and i really don't know of any use for flash on a server...

I would too - we have a call center running SunRays and want to build a Flex App to manage customers in the call center, but with no Flash 9, we are having to do it in Ajax... maybe there aren't many desktops out there running Solaris, but we have 500 of them in the call center that are desperate for a Flash Player 9.
