Yes there are compromises one can make, wine, crossover, cedega and reaktivate, but in the end, nothing is as good as a native shockwave executable. Shockwave can do much more than Flash and that is why I keep saying I will pay $1,000 if Adobe ports it to Linux. They just aren't listening.

Great support of linux flash player. Not to mention AIR coming. But if you want to use director and your app is shockwave safe just use wine. I have firefox running under wine with shockwave plugin. But you MUST use the windows version of firefox so it's using wine and the win32 API. Enjoy For linux users why not leave director behind finally and use flex/flash.

Especially for Kiosk applications: a museum that wants to install 20 computers wouldn't have to pay for 20 windows or mac licences, it could re-use old computers and if the application would crash and the OS would be wide open, not a lot of youngsters know enough Linux to wreck havoc...

Its basically Director 10 with a few little improvements. Nothing that hasnt been possible with 3rd party Xtras. For the upgrade price Im disappointed.

Why? Shouldn’t it be a Universal Binary?" +1!!! Some Intel macs (Mac Pros) were introduced less than 2 years ago, meaning there are a LOT of G5 machines still in circulation. “The system requirements (for Mac) indicate Intel Macs ONLY (for authoring)!

As for mac OSX is at 4%.... not very far beyond. Should there only be a WinXP and 2000 Director version? No. Ubiquity is the answer, no matter the popularity of the OS. Flash 9 is playing on Linux, why not Shockwave. And since OSX is a nix based OS, the port to linux should be straitghtforward.
