It was almost a year ago that I was reporting on the 64-bit browser for Mozilla Thunderbird and the absence of a 64-bit flash player from Adobe. Even in October, there were still no updates from Adobe.

It’s been almost a year and there’s been no new, no progress and no updates from Adobe as to when or if users will see a 64-bit version of flash.

Shouldn’t there be more outrage over this?

One of the first things your going to need with Ubuntu 9.10 is FLASH player. I’m still not real happy with Ubuntu and Adobe on this mess; it’s just stupid.

How in the world is a new person to Ubuntu to understand half the gibberish crap about terminal commands, the tweaks to get the FLASH player installed?

While the Ubuntu forums are swarmed with them… this is what I did, it worked and it was painless in comparison to going to Adobe’s website to install the latest .DEB.

I’m not messing with an Operating System that’s got such an issue with getting a browser to work. Ubuntu us a great Operating System, but damn, it’s not supported enough.

I give props to all the people that are really pushing it and I’d love to step away from Microsoft Windows, but the fact is that Windows is supported in one form or another, this version or that and has greater support for a myriad of hardware.

My example, Ubuntu is making great strides and infiltrating portable Internet devices, but it’s almost like it’s too specific. People can’t deal with it’s complexities, nuances and command line requirements; the average user is not jumping through hoops to install FLASH. They want to click and install it…

You’ve got to be kidding me. 64-bit machines have [not are] flooded the market. Everyone has witnessed the flood of 64-bit systems to the market and yet there’s no 64-bit FLASH player!

Nah, forget it Internet Explorer users I’m not even discussing Internet Explorer. Just about as far as anyone cares, that browser is dead. Even a person that missed passing his SAT’s by 2400 point knows NOT to use Internet Explorer.

64-bit PC’s and laptops are hitting the market consistently now. 64-bit systems are flooding the market, just one of the lacking points is the development of a 64-bit browsers and their components.

It’s pretty obvious that the software developers don’t place a lot of emphasis on this fact.

The natural evolution of software says you’ve got to go to 64-bit . You might as well take advantage of another processor and resources; resulting in faster and a more responsive browsing experience.

I guess I’m among the early few that have a 64-bit operating system. While I can benefit from the speed and the additional resources, I have to put up with the shortcomings of various software providers.

I was looking to take advantage of my system and it’s resources, so I recently downloaded Mozilla’s version of the 64-bit browser called Minefield. It’s an early version of Firefox 64-bit… surely it’ll eventually be renamed to Firefox as it should.

Installing Minefield is no different than installing Firefox, but Minefield obviously performs a lot better in its native environment, but people like myself can’t take full advantage of a web browser like this because Adobe doesn’t provide a 64-bit version of their flash player. This makes using Minefield a problem in most cases.

I can’t watch interactive or rich media, and I can’t watch videos from YouTube. I’m not interested in playing flash games online, but if I were, this would not be my browser.

For the past couple of years hardware manufacturers have been producing 64-bit systems. Microsoft produced a 64-bit version of Windows XP about seven years ago and for those poor bastards who actually loaded windows XP they realized that they were in a precarious situation because they were running an operating system that was not supported by just about anybody.

Right now majority of the laptops and PCs are being sold are 64-bit systems. 64-bit operating systems are still being considered illegitimate. No one want to put any time or effort into supporting a 64-bit operating system.
