Windows 7: Latest Version of Adobe Flash Player

Commodore Pet · 10 Dec 2010

For testing hardware acceleration I like going to this page and seeing the results I get.

FishIE Tank

I have tried running different versions of Firefox and Chrome at this site and Firefox 4 64 bit (Minefield) is the fastest for me. I have not tried IE9 yet.

Hi, Commodore Pet. You'll, more than likely, find IE9 x64 trounces FF 4 x64 on the FishIE test along with several of the other MS tests, especially the "Speed Reading" test.

The actual numbers from the JavaScript engines have become so close as of late the only real difference is bragging rights. Hardware Acceleration is still largely dependent on, well, hardware.

I find FF x64 to plenty fast for my day to day browsing. I watch streamed video with no issues. The benchmark tests on the MS IE site really don't matter to me as FF presents a faster day to day experience for me. I'll leave all of the benchmarking to the devs. After all, they're the only ones that can do anything about it. In the meantime, I'll stick to what works best for me (FF x64).

I was beginning to wonder when I saw THIS:

I HAVE 10.2.161.23.
The Adobe website said that the current version is 10.1.102.64.
Did I have a version that doesn't exist yet?

Good thing I checked here, and remembered participating in testing when I installed...

So, as of Jan 16, what's the current version? Is the website right?

Airbot · 16 Jan 2011

Far as I know, the only current versions out there for Windows are the stable 32 bit browser only 10.1.102.64 version. The 32 bit browser only 10.2.152.14 Release Candidate version that just came out, and the 64 bit browser only 10.3.162.28 "Square" Preview 3 version.

Don't see anywhere else that there is a 10.2.161.23 version.

The 10.2.161.23 version is a "Square" beta from back in September, Preview 2.

I remember it well, Airbot. I made the mistake of not uninstalling it before I installed Preview 3 thereby indicating an incorrect version for me. Thanks for straightening me out back then, Airbot! :)

Ah. Being that the "Square" flash is the only version to pass beyond that 10.2.161.23 number, that makes sense then it's just an older outdated "Square" version. No problem.
