According to the whitepaper, there is no plans to support AIR on Windows 8 RT (ARM based processors, or tablets). Windows 8 (Intel based processors, or desktops), are still supported.
I'm not surprised by this move. I see it more as a wait-and-see than anything else. Windows 8 RT has a *very* low take rate right now. If they are not supporting Linux, then not supporting Windows 8 RT is a no-brainer, at this time. I'm sure if Windows 8 RT becomes more popular they will re-evaluate which platforms they want to support. -Nick On Thu, Jan 31, 2013 at 9:23 AM, sébastien Paturel <sebpatu.f...@gmail.com>wrote: > Good thing, we did not start to rewrite flex in AS4 :) > At least it proves that Adobe can change its strategic moves very quickly > and 180° is always possible, even if you can't count on it of course. > > Does this white paper mean that theres no plan to put Air on windows 8, > even in captive runtime like iOs? > it would be a very bad news for Flex on short term (as a multi target SDK) > if windows 8 has success and flex don't run on it. > > Le 30/01/2013 00:42, Alex Harui a écrit : > > Hi Folks, >> >> Adobe published an update to the Flash Platform Whitepaper today.
