When will it be stable for OS X? I'm not joking.

Amen. I'm sick of my laptop sounding like a 747 every time I look at a video.

The iPhone Simulator gets my MacBook Air "sounding like a 747" as well. Since it isn't made in Flash, I'm left to conclude that:

    1) any program that is demanding will cause the fan to come on; and 
    2) it shouldn't be a big surprise that Flash will cause the fan to come on.

It's not easy getting a 747 rumble out of a laptop. You're lucky, the sound is usually tinny.

But there's a difference between "stable" and the situation where the cpu does the grunt work for the video instead of your gpu hardware. If Adobe and Apple can play nice maybe they can assist each other in getting the above changed in order to lessen the load on your cpu. It's more a "flash meets mac" thing, meaning both sides could do well to help resolve imho.

When will it be stable for Windows?

And i'm not joking either. Flash is the main cause of browser instability and RAM hogging.

And this without even getting started on security.
