I have beta 1 and I am extremely impressed. No more choppy performance when I scroll quickly in my browser and it never freezes on high-quality youtubes anymore. Everyone on Linux should install this, it makes the desktop experience much better!
It does fix the menu problem. Unfortunately a lot of sites are completely unusable. For example, the Guild Wars www.guildwars.com web site completely freezes my computer now. In previous versions this site just had transparency problems.I'm glad progress is being made, it's about time the menu bug was fixed. Hopefully the Flash 10 final version will bring it all together
Just an FYI for potential users: Initially I found it to solve stuttering flash issues, etc. Then came the 20+ firefox crashes, so I switched back to version 9 :(Hopefully with a few bug fixes it'll be really ready for mass testing
The release notes say, "For Linux, the hardware acceleration feature will not work if you are using a compositing window manager (compiz)." They're aware of it.
Clip9, no there code is heavily optimized with assembly which cannot be cross compiled. If it wasn't for that optimization wankers like you would be complaining about how effin' slow flash is.

You have a point. Firefox (with Flash b2, it think, but might be b1) crashed every time I tried the link.

Would anyone care to explain how to update to this latest version using Hardy Heron (with nspluginwrapper)?

Fullscreen performance with compiz enabled still isn't good. It's better but it's still awful. Compiz's desktop zoom is much more useful at the moment.Registry Cleaners<a class="user" href="http://www.registrycleanersreviews.info">http://www.registrycleanersreviews.info</a>
