Adobe released a roadmap for the future of Flash Player. Adobe is still developing Flash Player, along with Adobe AIR but the company is now scaling back development efforts as new web standards like HTML5 is taking Flash's place. Adobe will now focus its efforts on two key areas where Flash has a significant presence: video and gaming. The effort is aimed at making the technology viable "for the next decade", the company says.
The roadmap also addresses the issue of supporting Flash on Windows 8. The roadmap document states:
"Adobe is currently working closely with Microsoft to finalize details around supported configurations for Flash Player and Adobe AIR on Windows 8. This document will be updated once this has been finalized and release schedules are available."
