The fact is that the new flash VM is actually very good and delivers a sophisticated UI framework that is actually very pleasant to work with.

The Flash VM is shit on everything but Windows. Anyone who thinks that it is a well written piece of software is deluding themselves.

In the Flash VM's defense, the new alpha releases work pretty well on Ubuntu 9.10 x64. My laptop still can't handle two Youtube videos at once, but there's a lot less flickering and I haven't seen the 'flash crashed' gray square in a while

I've had 9 and 10 running on linux for years without a single problem, always fast and pixel to pixel identical with windows and mac? Maybe the problem is not the VM but the manner in which it is installed?
