With the impressive work being put into making the Flash 6 player work better on Windows and Mac, I am still baffled by the fact that there is still no Flash 6 player for Linux. Granted, the desktop market isn’t huge on Linux (although its growing, faster now thanks to Lindows and cheap Linux powered PCs) – but Linux is the chosen system for many embedded systems.
