Over 450 million Internet-enabled desktops have Adobe Shockwave Player installed.

Adobe Shockwave is a multimedia platform used to add animation and interactivity to web pages. It allows Adobe Director applications to be published on the Internet and viewed in a web browser on any computer which has the Shockwave plug-in installed.

It was first developed by Macromedia, and released in 1995 and was later acquired by Adobe Systems in 2005.
