CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on December 05, 2008
Adobe's latest version of the Flash Player browser plug-in is just as trouble-free as previous versions, existing unobtrusively in your system until Web-based animations, games, or ubiquitous Flash ads require its services.
The latest version downloads and installs quickly, and will probably always require a browser restart. Our tests turned up nothing to make us scratch our heads, and upgrading from version 9 to the current one has fixed for many people a bug that caused embedded video to freeze.
You need a Flash Player to experience the Web at its fullest, so users at any level of expertise should have no qualms about installing or upgrading to Flash 10.
Publisher's description
From Adobe Systems:Flash Player 9 is a lightweight, highly expressive client runtime that delivers powerful and consistent user experiences across major operating systems, browsers, mobile phones, and devices. Flash Player 9 builds on the advances in Flash Player 8 by focusing on three main areas: creating a more robust programming model, achieving standards compliance, and improving performance. This release of Flash Player includes ActionScript 3, a significant update to the scripting language of the runtime that provides a familiar syntax and compelling new language features; and new Flash Player APIs, such as those for the display list, enabling greater creative control over content and applications.

Version: Flash Player 9.0.16
"Has no competition"
Pros: There are literally thousands of websites on the web using Flash. Without a Flash Player, you can't view them. No other company makes the Flash Player so you need to download this one no matter what. It has no bugs and is a pretty small file. It is simply essential.
Cons: None really. It's a Flash Player and it enables your browser to view Flash media. Simple as that.

"Essential"
Pros: Another Quality Product from Adobe
Cons: We all know its bulit with love and care by the folks at Adobe.
But to be sure if you are running two browsers say IE and Firefox delay installing on at least one browser for a short period untill you are completely happy that it performs to your satisfaction.
Note: there are two versions one for IE and one for "other" browsers.

"Needed for most sites."
Pros: This is a flash player as the name indicates. It allows you to view flash animations on websites other hae made.
Cons: Most flash animations are ads, but this isn't the fault of the maker so 5\5.

"Another Great Product"
Pros: After the Macromedia/Adobe Collab, FP 9.0 is one of the best thing to have happened to them.Have been working with Action Scripts long enough to know them good and the new version is kool with added benefits!
Cons: Nice product but still not upto the mark! Would have been great if it must've been done taking into consideration other browsers too!
