With the availability of nspluginwrapper (I wrote a install script that dose it in 30 seconds) Flash is a non issue. Giving me a link to the 64bit section is like giving someone a map to their home. :) I also know that a large amount of Fud, that gets repeated by quite a few people outside of the 64bit section may be slowing some of the 64bit adoption. Things like "There are fewer programs" "Things dont work right" "Something is missing" and "You dont really need it", are just that, FUD.
This (nspluginwrapper) is going to be part of Gutsy from what Im told. Will we see 64bit Ubuntu installed on 64bit hardware then? Secondly, if things are missing from the 64bit version, that have work arounds available, why are they not in Ubuntu? Nspluginwrapper has been available since before Edgy's release. With only 64bit hardware being sold, when will development focus on the 64bit version?
There is a clear advantage, offering a operating system that matches the hardware. Something that Windows is having problems with. Why not use the advantage?
