For how long? Will there be more than a beta this time?

Sadly, there are many useful websites that truly need Flash and despite Robert Pogson's plus for FLOSS equivalents, they still only work sometimes and on some sites. So... I'm glad Adobe is back in the Linux game for now. I just hope they finally move to a full release rather than just a beta and I certainly hope that is followed by security patches and updates when needed. I'm not holding my breath for any of that.

Sure boinc or bitcoin crunching via GPU and CPU will produce measurable results on a 64 bit machine, but for everyday computing, I say it really doesn't make any difference.

Of course, Adobe fading in and out with Flash support for 64 bit is my coup de gras argument...kind of hard to get around it.

I'm sorry that you fail to see the benefits of 64 bit computing on the desktop.

It's a simple extraction of the Tufnel Principle: If eleven is better than 10, 64 must be waaaay better than 32.
