I have watched the release of 7 versions of Flash Players but somehow Player 9 is a wildly different release. This release adds AS3 support, a JIT compiler, and a wildly improved AS3 API. FP9 is very advanced and yet remains smaller than 1.2MB.Making things fast and small is not very easy. To think that Flash Player 9 includes a JIT compiler that emits X86 and PPC native machine code from AS3 bytecode is simply incredible. It is a true accomplishment for the Flash Player Engineering Team at Adobe and will revolutionize applications and the Internet.
I believe this release is a change in direction for Flash Player. It is a sneak attack as it arms the innocent graphical Flash Player with a real class based programming language capable amazing things. Combined with rich vector graphics and pixel perfect text, we will see a new class of application emerge.
Better still is the effect that Flash Player 9 will have on Apollo. As one of the primary engines in Apollo, Flash Player 9 enables a new class of Rich Desktop Applications that merge the best of the Internet and the Desktop.
Wow, exciting times ahead.
More to come,
Ted Patrick

Good point about "sneak attack"... the video abilities in FP6 snuck under the radar too.
It's a good, capable engine, capable of fitting easily into a wide range of environments, but there's also a whole ton of update pull from its universal use on the web -- remarkable times.
Interesting time, everyone has been waiting for this day...
I am just looking forward to see great Apps that would use the power of AS3 and Flash Player 9.
