Did anyone else catch the beta installation process? It used the Flash installer technology to upgrade the player within itself. This is a really big deal!&It looks like for the first time in Flash history, we are going to see the existing 6 & 7 generations players install the Flash 8 player directly. Starting with Flash Player 6, Macromedia included a cross browser/cross platform installation technology with a light ActionScript API in System.product. This API was used to install Central and Breeze to the local machine securely. This process has been battle tested with Central and Breeze and now this technology is turning towards the Flash Player itself.
The question lurking in my mind is how much faster are we going to get to 80% installed? If I had to guess, I believe that combined with player to player installation and the previewed feature set, we could cross 80% in 6 months.
I am really fired up about "The Ocho"!
Cheers,
ted ;)

Doesn't the FP7 also have an auto-update feature where a little balloon/status notification pops up asking the user to upgrade. If so it might be even sooner!
Nice Dodgeball reference ;-)
