Publisher's description of Flash Player 9.0.16
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.
Editor's review of Flash Player 9.0.16

- "Essential for video"
- Reviewed on: December 5, 2008
- Version reviewed: Flash Player 9.0.16
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.

Version: Flash Player 9.0.16
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.
