Adobe released Flash Player 9 for Windows and Mac, but there is no sign of a release for Linux which is still stuck on version 7. What up with that? How is it that developers of applications like VLC and aMSN can release software for virtually every current OS, yet a for profit company like Adobe cannot?

I mean even Mozilla releases its products on Windows, OS X, and Linux at the same time. I was always under the impression that if you are using smart programming techniques this is not all that difficult. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think it is absurd. Neglecting the Linux desktop community is just as bad as neglecting the Mac community would be.
