Adobe (Temporarily?) Kills 64-Bit Flash For Linux

Posted by Soulskill on from the how-rude dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems that with the release of the 10.1 security patches, Adobe has, at least temporarily, killed 64-bit Flash for Linux. The statement says: 'The Flash Player 10.1 64-bit Linux beta is closed. We remain committed to delivering 64-bit support in a future release of Flash Player. No further information is available at this time. Please feel free to continue your discussions on the Flash Player 10.1 desktop forums.' The 64-bit forum has been set to read-only."

    Oh well, it looks like Adobe wants us 64bit Linux users to focus on H.264

    An SWF can load and play H.264 video, in addition to H.263 and VP6.
