一年过去了，从大美女Emmy那里带来了更新的消息：）

==作废==

来自Emmy Huang @ 8月底的消息， 8.0最新占有率达到86%，目前快到11月，这个数字估计会更高。

==以下信息作废==

这里看到的消息，虽然是2月1号的老新闻，仍然令人振奋，可惜没有亚洲的统计。[原文大意后附]
Adobe官方地址（可能会有更新哦）

刚刚去看了官方最新的数据，仍然没有动:

项目开发者注意：
1. 支持flv格式播放
2. 05年底的亚洲数据未到
3. FlashPlayer8于05年9月发布

原文内容，比较简单，就几个复杂的词语解释一下：
Flash Player 8 penetration(穿过、突破) over 55%

At last, Adobe updated the Flash Player Version penetration page on their website, something I’ve been waiting for basically ever since Player 8 was released… :-)

I need these numbers to convince(说服，使相信) clients(客户), co-workers(同事) and management(管理者) to develop Flash Player 8 projects and it looks like Flash Player 8 is being adopted(被普及，被认可) quite fast, which is excellent news!

The Flash Player 8 numbers come down to this:

* US – 45.2% - aw附：美国的占有率这么低，值得大家反思（其实不难，积极开动脑筋）
* Canada – 56%
* Europe – 55.1%
* Asia – n/a

Unfortunately, there are no numbers avaialble for Asia yet, but if you are developing for Europe, Canada or the US you now have something to rely on, apart from your own measurements of course.
不幸的是，亚洲的统计数据还没有出来，但是如果你为欧洲、美洲开发项目，你可以一定程度地依赖(Flash8的新特性了)，当然，具体怎么做仍然看具体的需求。

一篇评论：
Actually, as of Feb 1, the number was closer to 60% in the US. The numbers on Macromedia’s site are from Dec. Our numbers put it at 63% right now in the US across major portal sites that we run our 3rd-party content on. Our numbers are more accurate than Macromedia’s b/c they are real-time numbers based on our sniffing on portal sites (i.e. AOL, etc). We don’t release our numbers publically, though, because it wouldn’t provide any advantage to do so. rpmworld’s numbers are even higher (67%) http://www.rpmworld.com/flashVerStats.php
