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:

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.
