The final 64-bit support will arrive on other operating systmes later and Adob mentioned: “Release of this alpha version of 64-bit Flash Player on Linux is the first step in delivering on Adobe’s plans Subscribe to these news to make Flash Player native 64-bit across platforms,” Adobe said in a statement. “We chose Linux as our initial platform in response to numerous requests in our public Flash Player bug and issue management system and the fact that Linux distributions do not ship with a 32-bit browser or a comprehensive 32-bit emulation layer by default. With this prelease, Flash Player 10 is now a full native participant on 64-bit Linux distributions. We are committed to bringing native 64-bit Flash Player to Windows and Mac in future releases. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming major release of Flash Player. Windows, Macintosh and Linux players are expected to ship simultaneously moving forward.”
