Re: FLASH: Netscape 4.08 COMES WITH FLASH 3.0 Player?!!!!!!!!!!

[John Dowdell]

I can understand that it would be desirable to stop all distribution of

obsolete software packages... I think everybody here is in agreement on

that.


If it's of consolation, though, please recall that at the end of last year

half of all consumers tested could already see Flash 4 content without

additional upgrades, and that the download rate has *increased* since that

time.


(Rephrased, I expect that the number of people downloading Flash each day

is a very high multiple of those downloading that back version of the

Netscape standalone browser.)


This doesn't take the sting out of people choosing old software, but I hope

it does show that the real effect is not damagingly significant...?
