The Linux Response to Flash Player 9 (They Love It)

I love the Linux community, I really do, and this release of Flash Player just reinforces that. I already posted on the Player over on ZDNet, but I wanted to list some of the comments I saw on Mike’s blog and on Digg about the new release. There are some classic ones:

i dont believe it. it cant be! my children and my childrens children and their children too will thank you.

Praise Adobe! You people are my new prophets of worship!

Praise Them!

-Chris

Seriously though folks, did you ever think you would be so happy to download a flash player.

-Clarke Brunsdon

Oh, YES!!

Go have a beer, take a break, relax, celebrate!

Thanks!

-Mark

-Democritus52

Finally! Flash plugin doesn’t take over my soundcard now. I get super sexy alsa mixing.

-ChrisRX

Sweet! Now I can view the other half of the internet…

-Dcrumpton

Adobe, seriously, hats off. People are absolutely stoked over this, and it’s only the beta! The messages have been nothing but props to Adobe and greatfulness towards the team. I think this is a major breakthrough for the entire Flash Platform and I hope that we see some of this enthusiasm from the Linux community prompt them to look at Flex and dive in. I’m stoked.
