adobe.com— There are new sets of statistics regarding Flash Player penetration. Adobe uses these penetration statistics as proof that the Flash Player really is as prevalent as everyone says it is.

also if you are using linux shouldnt you be shutting the f**k up and instead spending your time on getting it to work on your system? that kinda is in the spirit of linux.
@kevincannon is right. If you have ever used flash you will know that whenever you import any video in flash you get the option to choose the quality. High/med/low or even use "advanced" settings to define custom bit-rate (quality etc).The only reason the videos are not as good looking as the quick-time ones are because people are trying to make smaller sized videos. So its about the file size not the quality of videos flash can handle.

It would be more interesting to see how they (don't) support different platforms, like 64-bit operating systems, Linux, BSD and so on.

Flash is misused just like a lot of web technologies.

You think youtube has anything to do with the increased penetration? After all, they make viewers download the latest version. Just a thought.
