Thanks for the info.
I was able to pull together some info just from the page stats that
we have setup for various clients, I was just looking for some
"official" numbers.
The numbers didn't really matter in the meeting with clients though -
once we showed them the benefits 8 would bring (in this case, video
quality), and the Express Install, player stats were a non-issue.
They decided to go with 8 .

Does anybody know where I could find some numbers on Player 8

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.
