There needs to be more content out there, especially content that you can learn from. There are people starting to create content for Flash Player 10, but as always, it takes time for a lot of people to feel comfortable with using the new features because of time to learn new features, but also because the fear that people may not have the latest version of Flash Player. The latter point is the one that I think the penetration data is most useful for. As we see Flash Player 10 getting out faster and faster, there is less of a reason to wait. @nadavkav: I agree with your point.

i wish the developers (out there) will actually use some of its beautiful features… especially the bidi multi lingual text engine so we can all (linux users too) enjoy the flash applets more.

none ! of the developers for the Israeli educational content web sites have written any code to support the new flash player 10 as4 code :-(

especially (i whinge) on the educational web content community builders that still use old as3 code.

i hope in other countries around the globe the situation is different or at least that in the near future there will be some advancement in this area.

the foundation is definitely there ! if you are a developer and you are reading this far (these lines) please find the time to implement these new features and push them into the web :-) please :-)

I'm just as happy at 55% though :) @Colin: I think we do collect some background information on the people that take the surveys, but I'm not sure if the samples which are set to be appropriate for country representation are tuned to be valid for a subset of the data. I will pass along the feedback to our research group to see if we can add a breakdown in the future. @fabio: 55.9%. I’m just as happy at 55% though :)

Now I can start convincing the higher ups that we should start utilizing FP10's features more and more. Those are some awesome stats.

The study is done by a third party, they design and deploy the study for us and my two touch points are providing the test media (a SWF exported for a particular version of Flash Player), and getting the results at the end. The study is sample based, but once again, determining the appropriate sample size is up to our vendor. You can read up on the full <a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/methodology/" rel="nofollow">methodology</a> on our website. That said, I set up a model based on internal data from our web logs, and had a number that was only off by 2%. Also, we have gotten reports from customers that do their own empirical tracking that was also indicating the same rate. I have very high confidence in the numbers. I hope you do too.
