Flash Player 10 Penetration at 86.7%
In case you missed it, the brand new Flash Platform Blog announced some new penetration numbers for Flash Player 10.
For our inaugural Flash Platform blog posting I want to begin with some important news. The Flash Player penetration statistics have just recently been updated and Flash Player 10 is now installed on 86.7% of Internet-connected desktop computers in mature markets, which is the fastest the Web has ever adopted new innovation.
It’s great to see the adoption speed and know that so many people can take advantage of Flash Player 10′s features. For those who want other datapoints you can see that MochiAds Zeitgeist is showing a similar percentage and RIAStats has penetration trending upwards but lagging about 10% behind our (and MochiAds’) studies.
It’s also a great inaugural post for the Flash Platform blog! The marketing team at Adobe has put a ton of work into this and I’m really happy with the content. I highly suggest you subscribe as this will be the place where you’ll see a lot of breaking news and general Flash Player momentum content. They’ve got a number of different authors so the entire range of the Flash Platform is covered. Plus the feed includes content from many of the evangelists.

Here’s someone who went back to Flash 9, because the choppyness and CPU usage on my 1.64 G4 Powerbook was making it unusable.
I realize that Mac PPC is out, but there is no reason to ignore the installed base, as it is obvious that Adobe has done.
Why can I play Quake 3 fullscreen, yet a YouTube vid kills my laptop?
Please spend some dev time fixing this issue – Adobe Flash on PPC is broken – terrible performance, and awful CPU usage is not a hallmark of well written software.
