This meant that loading times for games and other software that needed Flash to run were shorter. There are a number of reasons that Flash Player was so popular, one being that flash files were very small. It works by running content from SWF files, which is an Adobe specific file format for multimedia and animations. The software is a runtime, or a system that describes the library that coding language runs on. At one point, the software was required to run most interactive applications on the internet. In its prime, Flash Player was a must-have. Outdated, unsafe software has met its end-of-life I don't mind when open source or freeware creators add such options to their installers so they can make a little money, but Adobe?!! Greedy SOBs.Software to view multimedia has long been surpassed by competitors They get money for including the options for installing other software in their installer. Why? The answer, as semllbs says, is that Adobe is looking to make more money. After I go the extra mile to upgrade their sh*tty product, I find that Adobe has the nerve to try to foist a copy of McAfee Antivirus on me. In order to make sure the updates work, I always look for a manual, standalone installer for Flash player (which for some reason is not easily found). If an error message shows at all, it is typically an obscure one. On the thirty or so 64bit Windows 7 machines that we have in our department, the "automatic" Flash updates almost NEVER work.
Adobe doesn't care about making life easier for system administrators or for ordinary folk, otherwise they would not block ninite or hassle them (see .uk/1/adobe_says_no/).
