Yes, it breaks things...

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: YES

That's why it's released, so Adobe can fix it. They can't possibly check out EVERY web site. Don't complain here, go to: Adobe Flash Player 10 Feedback Form


"This public prerelease is an opportunity for developers and consumers to test and provide early feedback to Adobe on new features, enhancements, and compatibility with previously authored content. Once you’ve installed Flash Player 10 beta, you can view interactive demos. You can also help make Flash Player better by visiting all of your favorite sites, making sure they work the same or better than with the current player."

If things don't work, and there will be things that don't work, tell Adobe about it, not VT. If you don't want to be a Beta Tester, than don't install this plugin.

Yes, it breaks things... - Swift2

I've been using Gmail for years now, and it's still called "Beta." I've used a lot of apps in the Beta phase. Certain things don't work, but you send in notice to the developer of what happened to you. This absolutely screws up CNN, YouTube or any other Flash video site on my computer, running Leopard on a G5. That's pretty severe. That's what consumers want first and foremost from Flash. If THAT doesn't work, maybe it's not Beta, it's an alpha, where something major just doesn't work; and it should never have seen the light of day. So, if a Beta isn't completely tacked down, that's fine. If it doesn't even do what everybody wants out of it first, that's arrogance, and not worth distrubuting to a general audience.

Yes, it breaks things... - JeffG360

Beta means internal testing has found it ready for external testing in what should be unique situations the standard test suite wouldn't find. There is NO WAY on God's green Earth, that CNN and YouTube are not on the standard QA plan. If they aren't someone needs to be replaced. These are obvious defects in the software which should make it not beta quality. People can't test what doesn't work!
