Very cool. Here's some more demos: http://mozilla.github.io/shumway/

The other cool thing about this is that it could potentially bring back Flash compatibility on Linux machines since the official Flash support/updates was dropped in 2011.

And other platforms like Android and Firefox OS. The areweflashyet.com demos apparently also work on iOS!

wow, just installed this on Linux, disabled the flash plugin and flash doesn't crash anymore yipiii :)

It appears that the flash testing site doesn't work with it though: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

Now I have 0 Plugins Enabled in Firefox. It's perceived about 40% slower though. :/
