War of the Roses: Back-stab ... Adobe justifying Apple's fears!!!

On the 11th of June 2010, Adobe announced their discontinuance of Linux 64 bit support for Flash 10.1, a move that has left many Linux desktops Flashless so to speak. Linux 64 bit first came into existence way back in 1993 when DEC released the 64-bit DEC OSF / 1 AXP a UNIX-like operating system (later renamed Tru64 UNIX) for its systems based on the Alpha architecture followed by the year 2000 release of Linux on zSeries, much before Windows (in 2001) or Apple (in 2003) even created their 64 bit OS versions!!! More so Linux has been aligning with Adobe till WebM comes along. But this move of Adobe totally changes the scenario and creates a rift for Linux to now start suspecting Adobe and seeing reason in Apple's fears. Much is rest to be seen. In the meanwhile all 64 bit Linux users are inter alia without the benefit of YouTube for starters!!!
