Adobe Flash Player 10.1 beta 3

[Elliott]

They already are doing OOPP in Firefox.

That won't allow for 64bit at the moment though, since the plugin host is still 32bit (and there's no reason to make 64bit Flash, etc.)

I think the point is that people want to be able to use 64-bit versions of their favorite browsers, but Flash not being 64-bit is a show-stopper. Otherwise, I believe most people couldn't care less about 64-bit Flash. However, with out of process plugins, you can still run your browser in 64-bit and have Flash run in 32-bit. Problem solved.

I've never done any benchmarks, but I do think Safari feels snappier in 64-bit mode.

10.1 Beta 2 - Blocky Resizer - Some Skipping.

10.1 Beta 3 - Blurred Resizer - Skipping seems gone.

Tested on ION + Atom N270 using 1080p and 480p sample videos on youtube

64-bit apps run better than 32-bit apps when using a 64-bit OS. Therefore we should be requesting both OOPP and 64-bit Flash. We want the best end user experience, not just a fix to a problem.

Would be funny if in the change log they also said Added: 15 new exploits.

I am completely convinced that Adobe doesn't give a rats ass about flash but at the same time is in a position to just deal with it.
