Regardless of Job's other comments, the "Flash crashes Macs" isn't FUD by any definition. The SWF plugin is just a pretty bad bit of software. If you don't believe me, check the Firefox crash analysis for today: http://people.mozilla.com/crash_analysis/20100502/20100502_Firefox_3.5.9-core-counts.txt http://people.mozilla.com/crash_analysis/20100502/20100502_F.... The Flash plugin is the greatest cause of crashes for them on the Mac, and it's pretty damn high on Windows as well.
The claim by the Adobe CEO that Mac flash crashes are "to do with the Apple operating system" is complete and total nonsense (there's nothing in OS X that would cause Flash to be crashy, and the data supports the fact that it's bad on Windows as well).
- hga 16y agoAre we talking about Flash crashing the browser or the OS? I took the Adobe CEO's comments to mean the latter especially since that was the general impression I'd gotten up to then.
- archgrove 16y agoThe browser. Virtually nothing crashes the actual OS these days (be it Windows, OS X or Linux). I think I've had 1 or 2 complete OS crashes in the last 4 years.
