"Buggy plug-ins (Flash and so on) no longer crash the Safari Web browser; you just get an empty rectangle where they would have appeared." Yeah they nailed this one... It's a good article, Leopard seems pretty impressive (half the size, twice the speed etc) but the author is very easily impressed.

I will be thrilled if Flash stopped causing Safari to crash. I'd be even more thrilled if Flash didn't make the CPU fans roar like a jet engine.

  I'd be thrilled if Flash played back video without jumping and jittering.

    id be thrilled if flash died as the defacto video player and made way for html 5's feature.

      Which appears to be browser dependent and potentially horrible?

        xulrunner 1.9.1 displays <video> video much nicer than any Flash solution, in my experience. The controls are better looking and more fluid, and the video itself plays back more smoothly. (It also works with ALSA properly :P)

        On what basis do you conclude that?

      I'd be thrilled if browsers didn't play Flash with worse performance than standalone Projectors do.... ;-)

    I have an iMac that first came out 2 years ago, and I do not notice either fan roaring or jumping and jittering. Is your experience with this on the laptops? (I do, unfortunately, notice that the fan sometimes goes to medium in the middle of the night for no apparent reason. It's not quite annoying enough to shut down when I go to sleep, though).
