Man, this seems so quick. Is Adobe really trying to step up to the plate? Maybe its because of all the demand from Hulu, Netflix and what not.

Only the windows version:
"Yes, you read right—only Windows gets the graphics-card-powered HD acceleration for now"
Hopefully the Linux version isn't too far behind.

Maybe the Hulu desktop app won't perform like crap in fullscreen. Adobe always focuses their efforts on Windows first, then the Linux and Mac versions. Keep in mind it is a "pre-release" so maybe for an official 10.1 they will release all versions at once. I still hate Adobe and flash though.

Totally agree with you but it would be a Godsend. My kids insist on playing those flash based games. Plus Hulu is a must if you forget to record a show. Not having your CPU pegged at 70% is definitely a good thing.

It is a definately a good thing. If the hardware accel is released for Linux AND actually works I might hate Adobe less
. I'm not entirely sure that this will accelerate flash games however; the article says "web video". Hopefully they will add acceleration for flash games as well soon. Those flash games are deceptively addicting. Thanks for this netcast by the way

Ubuntu Geek is alluding to that the flash 10.1 beta release will have hardware acceleration for Linux.

NOTE: Sorry. the post does say hardware accel for WINDOWS PC's. Although at least you can try it out in Linux.
