Hey do not make gossip. I only wrote mr. B. G. (who perceives Linux as 
competition and enemy) would be happy as a possible effect of reading 
unfortunate (I hope) misunderstanding of Adobe's release notes creator.
I wrote Adobe is making black PR by placing false statement:
"Hardware scaling is not available on Linux." which may suggest the hardware 
scaling is not available on Linux. I filled bug report asking Adobe to change 
this false statement to something like:
"Hardware scaling is not available on Flash plugin for Linux." to clearly show 
the lack of hardware scaling is explicitly due to software design limitation 
of Flash plugin and not Linux limitation as OS (Linux is able to do hardware 
scaling using well known X-Video extension). Adobe got bug report when 
previous beta was released from me where I:
*gentle asked for fixing this false statement for something more closer to 
true,
*described X-Video extension and how its advantages may help Adobe solve high 
CPU usage during video playback,
*added links to X-Video related pages, Xv programming docs and examples.
Now another beta is out and I see this false statement in Fixed part so it 
will disappear soon.

I appreciate Adobe involvement in making Flash and Acrobat Reader for Linux.
Just only would like to see less controversial release notes. 

I hope this clears this unfortunate svn commit description.
I suggest EOT.

have a nice day,
