It seems to be in very early stages. So far there's no flash player |

not made by Adobe that is compatible with modern Flash files. |

The problem with any non-Adobe flash player is that they are always |
| 10 |
going to be one step behind (same with Moonlight & Mono). And with |
| 11 |
many sites requiring only the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, it |
| 12 |
basically screws anyone who doesn't (or can't) use Adobe's player. |

Flash is "open" but the source to adobe's Flash Player is not. |

Hopefully someday they'll release it and let the linux community port |
| 16 |
it instead. |
