Why is Adobe blameless for not testing in Lion and providing a working copy? I don't see how the blame lies squarely with Apple on this one. Adobe has just as much developer pre access as anyone else.
I realize everyone wants to blame Apple for anything wrong with Adobe on their platform, but this seems really towards the conspiracy theory side of the spectrum trying to say Apple is "aggressively trying to kill or stifle the Flash technology".
Bugs happen, but I really have no sympathy for Adobe not getting off their asses yet again for a non-windows platform change.

- mitchty 15y agoI did, along with the updates: Update 2: Adobe sent us a message saying Flash hardware acceleration was, in fact, not disabled in Lion. The company declined to talk about all of the other problems mentioned in this story. Here is the company’s official statement: The final release of Mac OS X Lion (10.7) provides the same support for Flash hardware video acceleration as Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6). The previous “Known Issue” suggesting that video hardware acceleration was disabled in Lion was incorrect and based on tests with a pre-release version of Mac OS X Lion that related to only one particular Mac GPU configuration. We continue to work closely with Apple to provide Flash Player users with a high quality experience on Mac computers.
