Brief Hands-On Report--Adobe released Flash Player 9.0.47.0 (Universal)

Adobe released a new version of its Flash Player v9.0.47.0 that works natively with all Mac Web browsers on PowerPC-based and Intel-based Macs. It is available for download from this Adobe Web page in Intel-based and PowerPC-based editions.

You can check to see what version you have installed from this Adobe Web page--just choose "Web Player Test" in the right sidebar under "Additional Flash Player Resources." Ignore the top box which shows the Shockwave Player which is still does not run natively on Intel-based Macs.

We downloaded and successfully installed v9.0.47.0 on a number of Macs: Mac mini Core Duo, iMac Core Duo, iMac Core 2 Duo and MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo-LED, Power Mac G4 Cube and PowerBook G4. No issues were encountered in brief use of each. [Bill Fox & Dana Baggett]
