Earlier in June of 2006, Adobe released the most final public beta version of Flash Player 9, with the code name Blaze. In our tests, we were unable to detect a notable difference between the version 9 beta and Flash Player 8. We'll follow up with a detailed review of Flash Player 9 upon further testing.

My worst ever download experience
Pros: Convinced me to do something else with my time.
Cons: I can't see my 1 yr. old grandson on video photo site
I don't know if I have the energy to continue but I really would like to see the video of my grandson drinking from and asking for his bottle, especially since he lives 3000 miles away.
Fortunately, we do have a Webcam which works well.
I did it through "The Software Patch":

This Flash Player will only play through Internet Explorer. Wishing you all a successful download.

will not work after downloaded
Pros: would be great if adobe customer service replied to emails
Cons: i have none
customer service could have helped, but never did. i had to install and uninstall MANY MANY times before it finally worked. i went to several websites that required the flash player, so my problems was not caused by myself or my computer.

Yield to the Nag!
Pros: Speeds up browsing especially with older machines with a dialup connection.
Cons: None that are apparent.
Since it only takes a moment to update and there's no noticable downside, recommend just "Get R Done" if for no other reason than to avoid being nagged about doing it.
