Wondering how Flash Player 7 is doing out there? Pretty well, particularly overseas for sure! Latest numbers for FP7 (just released, for up to June 2004) are:
US: 66.7
Canada: 75.3
Europe 81
Asia 76.9
Canada is beating them out in Flash Players 2-5 though. Go Canada!!

This regular consumer audit is a good way to see trends, however... the rate of increase remains startling... with 'way over 90% of consumers able to immediately see SWF video that's why we've seen so many sites move to it recently. The individual numbers may not carry predictive value, but the overall trend lines remain very valuable. Cool...?
