Get Flash Player 7 with Yahoo! Toolbar FREE.
WTF? OMG!
Macromedia now tries to bundle Yahoo! Toolbar with the Flash Player.
When I a few months ago upgraded to the latest Shockwave player I was shocked to see that the installer asked to install the Y!TB. Back then I thought that well, it’s understandable that MM tries to make some money via sponsored installations for the Shockwave, since it really is no longer mainstream and has quite a big footprint.
Obviously the Shockwave-Y!TB bundle did generate some short-term income for MM so they try to use the same thing for the Flash Player. Maybe I’m a pessimist (thinking of poor non-flash fellows that want to use the the websites that we’ve built but turn away because they feel afraid to make a choice between FP 7 with Yahoo! and FP 7 without Yahoo!) or maybe I’m just biased (I Goooogle, Yahoo! is for kids that don’t know any better) but I’m quiet afraid that this will slow the adoption rate of Flash.
Hopefully Macromedia has done some extensive market research that proves my fears unjustified.
