So glad that video playback is so much better. Especially HD.

What you mean by this "WAY better"? there is a hardware acceleration at all?

..... there is a hardware acceleration at all?

How can a software update introduce a hardware acceleration?

By adding code that allows using the exisitng GPU to decode video as opposed to the existing code which only utilises the CPU

OK! I'll give you that one!

I do find it hard to believe that EARLIER versions of the software DIDN'T already make use of the GPU before, though.

I think it's across all lines. I know my MacBook Pro runs way cooler when playing videos off HDD and online.
