Also, they have a history of upgrading the Windows version first and eventually getting to the Linux version, so we are left with a gap. Adobe used to do that with Flash, but them seem to have reduced the gap time. John --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news(a)netfront.net ---

It is just the other way around, Adobe had released a 64 bit version of Flash for Linux, while there is no such thing for Windows in sight. Unfortunately it seems they have withdrawn the 64 bit Linux flash. But of course, in Linux you can use 32 bit plugins in a 64 bit browser. You cannot do that in Windows.

Exactly, my bank uses Java on their website and it took weeks of trial and error to get it working on 11.1 64-bit. Then I installed an unofficial updated KDE4 from a community repo which completely broke KDE3, so I reinstalled 11.1 a couple of months ago and still haven't got it working with my bank's website (have to boot into OSX :( ) -- Ulick Magee Free software and free formats for free information for free people.
