What makes you think Adobe isn't pulling their finger out? What
exactly do you expect Adobe to do?
I fail to see what magic Adobe could do to make Flash 'better' (aside
from open-sourcing it) other than the incremental changes as they
have been doing over the last year or two.
I note that the upcoming version will allegedly perform better at full
screen video on machines sporting the new nVidia ION chips - such as
the Acer Aspire Revo that I have, and other devices such as ASRock and
new ION notebooks.
