For the first time Adobe plug-in for Web animation comes immediately to the first free operating system. A matter of marketing?

Adobe releases the final version of Flash Player 10, the plug-in for Web animations most popular among Internet users and charts, and this time makes it immediately available for the Linux version. (as always, downloadable "to free" to the download page of Adobe).

A move probably dictated by competition from Silverlight, the application targato competitor Microsoft, in turn, just presented in 2.0. Precisely because it seems this time the company founded by Bill Gates plans to give its software to the competition, ie users of Linux.

Recall the main novelty of Flash Player 10: support for custom filters, 3D animations, advanced audio and workflow faster because it is exploited to the maximum GPU, the graphics processor, and then remain more free CPU, the main processor.

This version should also resolve the blocks that captain using the Firefox browser. By the end of the year Flash Player 10 should get a fourth version, one for Solaris, the operating system of Sun Microsystems (the creator of Open Office).
