Wouldn't the correct name now be Adobe Shockwave? Monkeypillow 01:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Hm. Where are those statistics from? Shockwave on 50 percent of ALL browsers? --81.225.27.246 23:52, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

I believe Macromedia publishes these numbers as well. If memory serves, they claim 60%. Jbetak 09:fuck off

[edit] Linux Support for Plugin

update: I am using 'Shockwave Flash 7.0 r63' under linux.
