Furthermore, the penetration rates will supposedly climb faster than ever before; we'll have more data soon as the December results come in: - those who installed Flash Player 6.0.65.0 and above have the ability for the players to update themselves without having to leave the webpage the user comes in on - those who installed Flash Player 7 have an auto-update utility built right into the OS - those who installed Flash Player 8 have both of the above
These should hopefully accelerate the adoption. This is where we own AJAX; updating millions users to the latest, greatest funk in a short timeframe, sometimes seemlessly! ----- Original Message ----- From: "JesterXL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 9:29 AM Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Web app built on the top of Flex 2 frawemork only requires Flash 9 player to be preinstalled, right? 2 things: - Flash 8.5, not 9 - a lot of us deploy on intranets, not on the internet, so having Flash Player 8.5 manually installed and/or updated isn't a problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andriy Panas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <flexcoders@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Thursday, January 26, 2006 8:29 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Web app built on the top of Flex 2 frawemork only requires Flash 9 player to be preinstalled, right? Hello flexcoders, After I read the following quote from David Mendels from his email to Flexcoders from 09/Jan/2006: ------------------------------------- "if you are planning to ship say, in the 2nd half of this calender year, it *may* be in your interest to ultimately build with Flex 2. There are many advantages to the Flex 2 product line, but since it isn't shipping yet you need to evaluate it in the context of your delivery schedule. If you build with Flex 2.0, the tool and framework will be sold on a per developer seat basis, for under $1000. There are no runtime charges at all in this case. The server (Flex Enterprise Services) includes both RPC services and Data Services, and a messaging backbone, depending on your needs it may be very valuable for your application or it may not. If you do use it, it will be sold both on an embedded basis and on a per CPU basis as above" ------------------------------------- I start thinking - how can you deliver the application on the top of Flex 2 framework at the end of 2006 if Flash 9 player will have a low penetration rate at customers machines at the end of 2006 ( say 15-20% )? -- Best regards, Andriy mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
