This is great news.
The inability of the present free alternative, Gnash, to play flash videos as
well as the proprietary plug-in is the biggest weakeness I can see in the
free distros...
Since that, the difference in performance is quite significant - at least, in
older computers.
And (either you like it or not) flash has become a very much used format in
multimedia services. And, unless/until such changes, we will all have to
still watch a lot of videos, and use other content, in such a format.
Go Shumway and HTML5!
