Mac Public Beta now available!
It’s with great pride that I can now say - you can download Flow Public Beta. The only caveat - the windows version needs just a little more time. We support OS X, XP and Vista. We ran into an 11th hour issue that made it a requirement to hold back windows for just a few more days.
Good news is - its just one issue.
Overall - we are very excited to see what you think. We still have work to do - but its now time for us to understand what you like, and what you think needs work. Making a successful software tool such as this (meaning, it does what it says, and you see “must have” value in it), is a community initiative. Your feedback helped us design it. Your feedback helped us tweak it.
Now we need to really open it up and let the floodgates loose on general impression - so we can work towards the final shipping version.
Special Thanks to my team (the long hours), our private beta users (for being patient) and you.
I firmly believe that this method helps us perfect a tool that could one day, …well… change everything.

Any idea if the beta and/or final version will work on 64-bit Vista? I’ll be upgrading to that over the weekend, and have been looking forward to trying Flow for quite some time, but if it won’t work correctly I won’t even try the beta when it’s released.
[Unfortunately - for public beta we will be releasing XP (32 and 64) and Vista (32 only). Final release will see 64 bit Vista as the last windows variant. The multiple variants (home, pro etc) mean that our testing effort just couldn't reliably handle 64bit Vista in the public beta timeframe. - S.]

Yes, I have the same question–64bit vista. I don’t mind if the app itself is 32bit, as long as it can still run in 64bit Vista.
Thanks.
[Ironically, much of Flow is a device driver - meaning we have to fully support 64bit. Vista and XP cannot support 32 bit drivers, although the UI etc can be 32bit on a 64bit OS. Final Flow 1.0 will see 64 bit Vista support. -S.]

I don’t see that Flow works with QuarkXPress, or on my Max OSX operating system. We have not upgraded to Leopard, because Apple is still working out the bugs.
[Quark is high on our "to do" list. We are going to be publishing a document soon detailing the release schedule of supported applications. We already have Quark on the list - but there is a good forum post in our public beta forum where folks are marking down their wish list. We will be watching it VERY closely. Also - we are still working on support for PPC and Tiger - and should have updates soon as to its status. You will not see support for Tiger and PPC in the Public beta however. -S.]

Hello,
I’m keen on Vista 64 support too, but don’t let it hold back the Windows beta as I’ve XP and Vista 32 at home.

I don’t have Mac OSX Leopard, but I went ahead and installed Flow anyway and it seems to be working fine. Will keep you posted.

I’m eagerly awaiting Mac OSX PPC release for my iBook G4. I don’t use (or know anyone else who uses) Adobe Version Cue, but is an integration on your roadmap? I’m working on a related project for the Air Force that monitors users within an Air Operations Center and integrates into their workflow to enable a similar type of asset tracking that is tied to network resources. We don’t have a lot of public information available on the R&D project, but if you’re curious here’s a teaser page - http://wiki.milcord.com/wiki/Commander%27s_Learning_Agent
Finally, software that works the way it should.
