Gotta love the love the latest Flash Player ubiquity report… version 8 is at 50% and climbing! As noted by Mike Chambers and Emmy Huang, Flash Player 8 is being adopted much more rapidly than previous versions and is on track to hit that magic 80% threshold within a year of its release. (And a good thing too since by then we’ll all be using 8.5!)

The stats in our own little ecosystem are even better — as you can see in the image above, 80% of our visitors already have Flash 8, and 99% have Flash 7 or better (as measured by Mint since some time in October ‘05… and we suspect some of you 7s have become 8s in the mean time.)

How do your site visitors measure up? What tools do you find helpful for testing such things?
