I am not the one who will complains not to have the last version of any product, but some of my customers asked me to check this or this website, and I cannot even access it, as I dont have Flash 8 players ... I can use it as an argument again using non open plugin on a website... but they just don't want to hear that ;-) I don't use flash myself on websites I manage, but I was just curious to know why Linux was only in the 7 version. Thanks for your answer, and again, it was not to criticize any. I am sure somebody would just on me telling, "What dont you do it by yourself ?". The Fedora team is doing a fantastic job, and I will not complain if I miss some proprietary plugin to be updated. May the Source be with you !
