Hardware decoding of video content has been available since FP version 10, released in October 2008. I'm not making stuff up. I actually have my history of gripes with Adobe, as if I've been working with their software for more than a decade. If anything, I'm just enraged that this article is making stuff up, and I don't like people taking ideology and fundamentalism into a discussion that should be tech-based only.

That isn't hardware decode, that's hardware scaling. http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/05/flash_uses_the_gpu.html http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2008/05/flash_uses_the_gp... Also, Flash does not use any of the multiple hardware decode APIs on linux yet due to it needing readback support which apparently they don't have yet. http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2010/01/solving_different_problems.html http://blogs.adobe.com/penguin.swf/2010/01/solving_different...

http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/gala/ http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/gala/ 'Welcome to the Flash Player preview release, code-named “Gala,” which introduces support for H.264 video hardware decoding on Mac OS X 10.6.3, the most recent release of Mac OS X Snow Leopard... The hardware acceleration functionality in the Gala preview release of Flash Player is expected to be included in an update following the release of Flash Player 10.1.'

You are making stuff up. Hardware acceleration for h.264 decoding was introduced in the Windows betas of Flash 10.1 in October 2009. It hasn't shipped yet, and probably won't for another 6 months.
