Adobe Flash Suddenly Incompatible w/Vista x64?

Per the download page I see this yellow warning:

Yet Flash Player is functioning quite normally as far as I can tell and updated as recently as yesterday and yes, I am using 32-bit FF8 and IE9.

What is this about?   A page error or what?

The bit about "Flash Player 11 now includes support for Windows 7 64-bit" is also rather bizarre considering I've had it working on that for ages.

(I multi-boot 64-bit Vista Ultimate SP2 and Windows 7 Ultimate SP1).

All it means is that the 64bit version of the Player is supported on Windows 7x64.  The 32 bit player is supported on XP, Vista, and Windows 7.  Since you're using the 32bit versions of FF and IE there's no change for you.  For full system requirement details, please see:

Then Adobe should reword that blurb because it gives the impression that it's incompatible with Vista x64 OS (and XP x64), no mention of browsers.

Perhaps reword "64-bit versions of" to "64-bit browsers in".

There's quite a panic going on in the Vista communities that Adobe has suddenly abandoned us.

Thanks for the fast response by the way.
