Does anybody know where I could find some numbers on Player 8 installs?
The most recent info I can find on Flash Player stats on Macromedia.com
is from last September, and doesn't include Player 8.
The NPD/MediaMetrix consumer audit from December should be up on the
website Real Soon Now, and this will be the first audit to have real
data. (FP8 was released to the general public in the last days of
August, so the mid-September tests were too early for meaningful measure.)

I'm not sure whether that page will be updated on, before, or after the
Jan 31 analysts meeting, but over the next two weeks I expect a whole
lot of talk about the adoption of this new generation of Flash Platform
-- the Player consumer engine, the new Flex 2 framework and workflow,
the upcoming Adobe technology initiatives.
Anecdotally, all Player 8 evidence I've personally seen has been
consistent with a faster-than-ever adoption rate, as Brooks noted. I
don't think we'll hit 50% consumer viewership in this December audit,
but the first three months of public distribution should about match the
adoption Windows XP reached during four years of distribution:

Sorry I don't have hard data yet, but the above shows what I've seen,
and what I expect, if that context is of use to you today.
