A public beta Adobe Flash Player 10, codenamed Astro, was officially rolled out today, bringing a couple of new capabilities besides the ones that have already

been included in previous releases. Just like the older versions of Adobe Flash Player, Astro is available for free and can be used on most platforms that currently exist on the web including here Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Mac OS X and Linux. However, note that Adobe Flash Player 10 no longer supports Mac OS X version 10.1 but it now comes with support for Ubuntu. Obviously it is available for free.

"For over ten years Adobe has pushed the limits of creativity and redefined rich interactive Web experiences with Adobe Flash Player. Adobe has a long track record of creating technologies that influence market direction and we believe this beta release of Adobe Flash Player 10 raises the bar once again", said David Wadhwani, general manager and vice president of the Platform Business Unit at Adobe. "Working closely with the community, we are delivering groundbreaking creative features that will be transformative for interactive designers and developers, and revolutionary for end users."

One of the main key features of the newly released Flash Player is the performance it is able to provide. And obviously, both developers and regular users who'll have to deal with Flash content welcome this improvement. "One of the best things about the creative features now available in Adobe Flash Player 10 beta is that they won't slow down performance", said Grant Skinner, CEO and chief architect of gskinner.com.

As usual, you can download the latest stable release of Adobe Flash Player, as well as the newly-launched beta version of Adobe Flash Player 10, straight from Softpedia using the following link.
