RE: [flexcoders] Stats on flash player 9 penetration.

[David Mendels]

Hi,
 
Two more data points:
 
a) One from JD: http://weblogs.macromedia.com/jd/archives/2006/10/apple_updates_f.cfm
 
Not everyone cares about the Mac, but for those who do, it 
is nice to know that Apple is pushing FP9 out to all their 
customers
 
b) I can't give the name, but I was speaking with one of 
the largest manufacturers in North America recently.  They are doing a lot 
of internal applications with Flex 2 and decided to push out Flash Player 9 to 
all 100,000+ desktop machines in their company worldwide.  This is great 
news for Flash Player 9 in its first 90 days on the market.  It is just one 
data point, but this is the earliest I have ever seen that 
behaviour.

Thanks guys... I'll relay this info to my client.  Should help them 
choose to go with flex 2.

  Some very popular 
  sites require Player 9 because it was the earliest release with some security 
  fixes.  Those fixes are in older versions that will be coming out soon 
  (or may have already come out).  As in, there will be newer versions of 
  Player 8 and Player 7 with those fixes I think.

  Thanks 
  Matt.
  
   
  
  I'm 
  totally confused now.  Isn't the only thing requiring a player upgrade to 
  9.0 flex 2?  Without auto-update turned on what is causing such a blazing 
  fast adoption rate?

  Actually I'm not sure 
  we've turned on auto-update yet.  But the downloads have been high 
  without it.  We're still figuring out the timing of auto-update.
