Beta Flash Player 'Gala' supports H264 video hardware decoding on Mac OSX 10.6.3

To date, support for hardware accelerated H.264 video playback in Flash Player has only been possible on Windows PCs and x86-based netbooks

I love how they try to make it look like they support two different platforms when they're both exactly one and the same..... and they forgot to add "that run Windows" at the end of the sentence, because netbooks running Linux or OS X are not hardware-accelerated.

Shame, really.

I don't think they're making it sound like they're supporting two platforms, they're just trying to exclude non-x86-based netbooks..

So couldn't they have taken their cue from the PC comment and said:

"To date, support for hardware accelerated H.264 video playback in Flash Player has only been possible on Windows PCs and Windows-based netbooks"

Or simply "On Windows-based PCs and netbooks"
