Flash 64-Bit "Square" Preview 1 is avaliable

[MorphingDragon]

Adobe has made 64-Bt plugins for Mac OSX now.

Here's the blurb:

Adobe® Flash® Player "Square" is a preview release that enables native 64-bit support on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows operating systems, as well as enhanced support for Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 beta.

We have made this preview available so that users can test existing content and new platforms for compatibility and stability. Because this is a preview version of Flash Player, we don’t expect it to be as stable as a final release version of Flash Player. Use caution when installing Flash Player "Square" on production machines.

The key new capabilities in the Flash Player "Square" preview are:

•64-bit support — Native support for 64-bit operating systems and 64-bit web browsers on Linux, Mac OS, and Windows.

•Internet Explorer 9 hardware accelerated rendering support — Enhanced support for Internet Explorer 9 Beta. It takes advantage of hardware accelerated graphics in Internet Explorer 9 Beta, utilizing hardware rendering surfaces to improve graphics performance and enable seamless composition.

I've been running it the past couple of days... not really any improvement.

Not really an improvement ? Your integers now use 8 bytes of memory instead of 4!

And you call that not an improvement ?

What did you think was going to happen ? People seriously misunderstand what 64 bit is even about...
