I'm not sure i agree on this, since i've heard rumors that the new VM is very fast, and there is also the question of whether it will be possible/feasable to support AS3 with gnash's current VM (which i know very little about). But since "tamarin" probably wont be functional for a while, we'll have plenty of time to discuss :) > > I did notice the Linux support isn't released yet...
