Adobe Releases Flash Player 9 (PPC)

The only thing they seriously need to change about Flash is that it slows to a crawl in the background. I hate that.

Be careful about installing this. From now on I'm heading the advice of #5. I had multiple websites (ESPN included) that just wouldn't play Flash after installing v9. Kept asking for v8 in order to play.

...and btw, it's a pain in the butt to find old versions of Flash: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_14266

Those archives have both Mac and PC versions of the players; thought it might help someone else down the road.

When it comes to flash I wait until the content I watch tells me it wont work unless I upgrade

Yeh, you're welcome TUAW, wheres the 'thanks to everyone who sent this in..'

I have to say I'm impressed by Adobe's quick integration and support for Flash under Intel and their page that shows what version you are running as well as the details that show the differences between Flash running under Rosetta or Intel native mode.

I'm staying at 8.0.27 for now and saving the upgrade to 9.0 when it goes univeral.

I installed this last night, and now Safari/Camino/Flock can't show any flash. They keep asking me to get the latest plugin.

The installer from Adobe messes things up I guess.

Does Adobe have something against Intel Macs?
