SWF7 Player was released in Aug/Sep03. Dec03 consumer audit shows about 30%
SWF7 viewership. I'm anticipating the Mar03 audit to be published within
the next month, and am guessing that 40-50% of consumers tested will
immediately be able to see SWF7 content.
The usual caveats apply about how your site's particular audience may or
may not match general consumer norms.
This rate of adoption is very quick because it is a small download with few
environmental changes... easier than updating a video architecture, much
easier than updating a browser.
(Bryan, if a PDF opens in four seconds on your machine, well... you've got
a faster machine than I do ;-) That "FlashPaper" printer driver in every
copy of Contribute can make PDF formatting even quicker and more svelte, if
you'd like.)
(Dick, that sounds like an interesting sample file... any total filesize
comparisons, controls against display choices, etc? Usually people see the
opposite of what you reported, so it would be good to learn the crucial
differences, thanks.)
