Link via PC World

Flash CS4 ProfessionalIf you’re thinking of buying a netbook but you’re not sure how well it’ll handle full-screen HD Flash video, Adobe has a solution. Adobe Flash Player 10.1 with GPU acceleration–now in beta–promises to dramatically improve the streaming HD video experience on computers that lack top-notch processors. If your PC has a supported Nvidia or ATI graphics card (supported cards are listed in this release notes PDF), Flash Player 10.1 will use it alongside your processor to better decode streaming video from sites like YouTube and Hulu.

Flash CS4 Professional is available at an academic discount price of $249.
