I don't buy that. Flash can do everything Parallels can, and - like the article said - inside Parallels flash is running faster!

  So you are suggesting the Flash plugin starts up an instance of windows so it can utilize the hardware acceleration? The issue here (with the 10.1 hardware acceleration) is that it requires updated video drivers, and Apple controls those drivers on OS X, and Apple hates Flash. Maybe they will eventually add support, but why would they hurry if they don't like it in the first place?

    He is suggesting that if there is no public API for Flash to use then there isn't one for Parallels to use either, yet Parallels manages a better job running Flash in IE on Windows all virtualised than Flash manages on it's own. Parallels does not have updated video drivers from Apple, why should flash need them to match what parallels does now? Whatever Parallels installs or does to handle dismay updates, Flash plugin could do.

      "Parallels does not have updated video drivers from Apple" Parallels doesn't run in a browser.

        However, a browser runs in Parallels. Which should really be much more difficult, when you think about it.
