Re: [Flashcoders] Player Version Penetration -- Comparison Stats
Does anyone know exactly what differences there are between 7 and 8 that might make 8.5 adoption faster than 8 adoption? My recollection is that there is some improvement in 8 in this regard, but I am not sure.

RE: [Flashcoders] Player Version Penetration -- Comparison Stats
Hi, There are several factors at work here: A) The primary thing that drives adoption of a new version of a Flash Player is content that requires that Player being deployed. I think that the dramatic advances in what is possible in Flash Player 8 -- especially the improved video -- led more developers/publishers/sites to take advantage of the new version triggering more downloads. B) Express Install! http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/fp8_detection.html C) Growth of broadband since the last major release We are seeing about double the rate of successful installs per day that we saw with the previous version! -David -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of hank williams Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2006 10:57 AM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Player Version Penetration -- Comparison Stats Does anyone know exactly what differences there are between 7 and 8 that might make 8.5 adoption faster than 8 adoption?
