I found another link as well, directly from Abobe:

This is still accessible. I found it linked on

Flash still sucks. I tried some Theora video sites just to see what it was like. I'd say it was around 1/4 or 1/5 the resource usage to watch the same thing as an equivalent Flash. I can't believe how much better HTML 5 and Theora is over Flash. There is no comparison.
Like I say, if these standards take over
http://youtube.com and such, the web is going to be a much better place than it is right now. If
http://youtube.com switched to Theora and HTML 5, I would not even *bother* to install Flash.
Don't take my word for it, see for yourself:
