"Sorry, but shockwave on Linux won't happen due to prior agreements with Microsoft. -- Anonymous Macromedia Employee Who Wants to Keep His Job"
uhh, not only have I never heard anything of that myself (and I've been working with Shockwave since before it was first announced), I can't even imagine a situation where that would make any sense or having any bearing to reality at all.
Rather than "anonymous macromedia employee", I suspect you're actually just "anonymous recreational online typist" who's out for a bit of fun... how am I doing here, am I close...?<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-)
(If you *are* indeed a Macromedia employee, and are either mistaken or have some secret information hidden from me for nine years and which would rock my world, then ya gotta sign your posts... if you've got an affiliation you need to reveal it, and reputation-backed posts are key online.)
Like I said up above, the Macromedia Shockwave Player takes explicit advantage of system-level abilities, and so doesn't port as readily as the Macromedia Flash Player does. It's not impossible to make happen, just much more difficult.
