Adobe AIR Hits 100 Million Installations

Published by TJantunen at 8:00 under Technology

We know that it took 38 years for radio to get 50 million users, 13 years for TV to get to that number and 4 years for the Internet to get to 50 million users.

But today Adobe proudly has announced that they have recorded 100 million successful installations of Adobe AIR, the company’s cross-platform runtime environment for Rich Internet Applications (RIA), at the same time boasting that the newest version of Adobe Flash Player (10) was installed on over half of computers(55 percent) worldwide in just the first two months of its release.

This means it will surpass 80 percent by the second quarter of 2009, far outpacing the installation rate of past versions of the software. The numbers associated include only the successful installations, which means that the actual digits can be well over the given figure.

Adobe has reached another milestone by achieving this. The company made this announcement at the Adobe MAX Japan event. For even more details visit Adobe AIR blog.
