Comment Re:Ajax compared to Flash (Score 1) 347
Those numbers seem very high to me, I'd also consider where you're reading them (the Macromedia site...) for the obvious bias
Man people like you crack me up...you could tell them the sky's blue and they'll argue that it's a colorful shade of gray. Like someone already posted to you, you really should do your homework before you start spouting things off. Flash traditionally has an 80% adoption rate in 12 months. That's higher than any browser and OS adoption. You want to say that people won't upgrade and people hate downloading a plug-in??? You show me the numbers where people have turned Flash off. You have that stat handy? Show me the numbers where people have uninstalled the plugin...any numbers for that?? Sorry but I can go off of the high tech "I've seen" stat your so quick to refernce.
take this quote from John Dowdell (and yes he is a Macromedia employee...stating FACTS)..
"According to AssetMatrix, Windows 2000 is the most-often used Windows version in medium- and large-sized corporations, edging out XP 48 percent to 37 percent. Put another way, roughly half of all Windows installs in corporations are Windows 2000." Operating systems require a big commitment to upgrade... as the OS was released four years ago, that's about 10% adoption per year, compared to 80% for a small browser plugin which doesn't change your daily environment.
Got any numbers showing that's false???
