SPRINGHEELMAC  Flash Player 10 is HORRIBLE on PPC Macs. That said, the best version out there for PPC is 9.0.159. This will enable you to utilize sites like Myspace and whatever else has been asking you to upgrade from 9.0.124 without having to install 10. Get it at 'http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/'. Select "Flash Player 9 for System 10.1-10.3" from the drop down menu. The only problem is, it doesn't come with an installer. That's an easy enough fix; put the two items into "Library/Internet Plugins".

9.0.159 has the latest security features like 10, but its faster for us PPC users than 10. I was getting frustrated not being able to use some sites with 9 and 10 was totally hosing my system. With 9.0.159, I can have my cake and eat it too (for the time being, at least). Get it a shot.

BEDOUIN  Flash 10 is completely useless on PPC Macs. I wondered for weeks while videos were playing horribly. If you own a PPC Mac do not bother installing this. I went back to 9 and things are - well, better - but that's not saying much since Flash on Mac has always sucked.

ZWILLIAMS  Flash is great, if it works. Most of the time you come up to an ad or an actual interactive file, it will pop up with a warning telling you that something or other didn't load. It will offer two options 'Dismiss All' or 'Continue' and reguardless crash and take Safari out with it. Beyond useless to me. Switched back to Flash 9. Flash 10 is seriously broken, and it is amazing that Adobe hasn't done something to fix this yet.

BEIGE  go gametrailers.com and tell me that this isn't the worst software ever made. My 8-core Nehalem is apparently not powerful enough to play a 320x240 Flash ad.

Go team.

STROB  Unbelievably this latest version 10 is worse that the last. Not only is video choppy and jumpy but now voices are completely out of sync with the video. Great going Adobe! Reverting back to v.9....again.

ALEXIUSCA  Everyone in flash should install this: http://github.com/rentzsch/clicktoflash/tree/master

FlashBlock for Safari! Yay!

The so called 'company related biases' are just as irrelevant as your supportive comments. The facts are that RAM and CPU surge with Flash, and tests show the increase is exponentially higher on the mac than it is on windows.

This would indicate that the Mac version is sub-optimal at best, but is more likely quite poorly written after so many years on the platform.

DANMARC  Having installed the latest Safari 4 beta (very nice and am so far very impressed by the speed increase) I also updated to the latest Flash - and yes - it works very well (as it has always done for me in the past) and so far it also seems to increase the "overall snappiness" of Safari 4.

Have to agree with previous review - please make a relevant comment/review instead of just posting negative "company" related biases. Thank you

MACLOVER1.1  I do not understand all this Flash/Adobe bashing (hatred towards power/monopoly possibly). Flash is one of the coolest experiences on the web. PERIOD. It gets better and better with stuff like Papervision etc. I guess on a modern powerful machine like my MacPro Flash Player works very well.. so not sure about "weak" configurations.. (it works quite well on my "cheap" MacBook as well) but then again it is like anything.. if you wanna go fast get a powerful motorcycle, if you want to be strong get good muscles etc... or do not complain. The only thing I have noticed, or maybe I am just making this up.. dunno.. but it seems the text-rendering is not as clean/smooth as it was in previous versions.. looks crisper which makes characters slightly jagged... anyone noticed this ?! As for Safari 4... WoW !!! Almost trippy.

LEPPE  I have no issues with this version of Flashplayer (10.0.22.87).

I'm using it in combination with the new Safari4 beta on a PowerMac G5 (2x2.7Ghz, 8Gb RAM, ATI X800XT, 256Mb VRAM, 10.5.6).

This version in combination with the Safari4 beta is the fastest browser experiance I ever had. Flash content is super fast. Webpages where I used to have beachballs are now loading super fast in blink of an eye.

So it's a good for me. Maybe there are some Intel issues :-) (just kidding)...

Serious now, even this release is working very well for me software like this should be released properly tested on a large variety of hardware. The reviews I read here proves that this software is not ready for public release or maybe it's not properly tested...

Kind Regards,

Leppe
