Silverlight To Support x86_64 Linux

Posted by Michael Larabel on September 05, 2007

While Adobe doesn't offer a native x86_64 version of Adobe/Macromedia Flash for Linux, Microsoft and Novell will be offering a 64-bit edition of the Silverlight binary codecs for Linux. Miguel de Icaza had posted this information today on his blog. Will this motivate Adobe to offer a x86_64 version of its Linux Flash player to be competitive with 64-bit Silverlight/Moonlight?
