Well it looks like my Flash Player Install counter was a little off, 30,000,000 off to be exact. On 8/21 the Flash Player install count from Akamai was 2,524,330,000 which is actually ahead of where the counter is today, 3 days later in total.What is 30,000,000 installs between friends?
Cheers,
Ted :)

Makes you think on how many computers there are o.O
What this also shows, is that the Flash platform is by far one of the greatest platforms to develop on , simply because of its adoption rate (i think thats the term).

Ted, thats a nice number. Are you also keeping in mind of installs that are not used anymore. E.g. I wiped an XP installation the other day that had FP9 installed and I haven't installed a new one since... In other words, not every installation has to be a new one. It can also replace an old one.
Luke,
You are correct. This number counts successful installations. We cannot tell unique machines in the statistics given the extreme logging statistics. 10M downloads of a 1.5MB player is mega-bandwidth.
There are clearly cases here of install duplication and upgrading players and cases where we do not see the install occur at all. We can only show the information that we get and this is limited.
Ted :)
So did you update the counter? I'm still seeing it 10M behind this post.
If only I had a penny for every install...
Just updated the counter and posted the source code.
