Flash MX on Linux

According to the latest press release from CodeWeavers, you can now run Flash MX on Linux.

There have been Linux versions of the browser plugin and server software for quite some time, but the actual movie authoring studio has not been released for the free OS.

Previously, you needed a bunch of WINE hacking to run Flash.

Now, you just need CrossOver ($60) and Flash itself ($200), which is a step in the right direction. No Windows licence or partition necessary.

Best of all, the execs are all geeks. Beard? Check. Glasses? Check. Bad hair? Check. Funny face? Check.

Hahaha, he called you a douche. Anyone who uses the phrase "way better" is, himself, a douche.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
