    Adobe has no respect for it's Linux users. They don't see making any profit from it anytime soon. We'd have to be surprise we even got Flash 7 on linux, we might still be stuck on Flash 5 or something.
    Now it seems they'll skip 8.5 and go directly to Flash 9... A word of advice, webdesigners should boycott products that are not truly cross platform ready. I mean the point of making a website is that everyone can access it or everyone be interested in what you have to offer. When I think about movies websites like Spider-Man 3 or X-Men 3 I can't access them while using Linux, well the money I saved on an operating system will not go to those hollywood studios because I can't even see their website and get the hype about their movies.

    Bad move from Macromedia/Adobe, Linux is becoming ready for mainstream on Desktop and they are still proposing stone-age software....
