Divvet I don't use IE, I use Opera. The point was that whatever default browser you use is what will get updated in the point releases, not your other browser.
And even Adobe seem intent on allowing HTML5 to take over if you saw the link at the end of my editorial, so maybe this is why they don't seem to put any effort into making the Flash updater work properly.
Guest1: You're welcome
Guest2: In my defense the title wasn't my doing
The question is why an updater brings up a download page in the first place, there is no logical reason for it. It just means the updater is not even used at all.
misor I want to use the updater because it would make my life easier, this coming from someone both managing computers in large networks but also helping out friends and family.
The point with doing comparisons to other software was that you have a choice in those cases.
You can install the bloated version if you so like, or select one of the others.
But with Flash you don't have a choice, it's either use Adobe's version or bust...
