Flash Player 8 Hardware Accelerated on Mac OSX 10.2+

I hereby decree no more whining from you Apple-groupies about how Flash runs slow on your Picasso’ plastics. My video card doesn’t break a sweat running HalfLife2 as high as its settings will go… but because I’m on a PC, I don’t need Flash Player using OpenGL to get good performance. You all toolbar-boxers now get hardware accelerated Flash, and I don’t.

Why Flash Player 8 runs mach-2 on Mac

  1. ‘You all toolbar-boxers now get hardware accelerated Flash, and I don’t.’, yeah and you probobly get x86 optimized Flash Player code while the Flash dev team doesn’t spend as much time on the mac code.

    All Macromedia did was make the player faster in easiest bug free way, and that happened to be hardware accelleration.
