[Just like the Linux Steam client, which has not been canned and is still on the way.]

And you know this based on what evidence?

I personally think it's very likely that they were working on a Linux client, because of the leaked stuff. And I'd like to believe it's still on the cards, But when Valve have publicly stated that they are NOT working on one, you need to give a little more evidence when stating the contrary. Is there something you know that we don't?

Competition is a good thing

Now that HTML5, silverlight, and various opensource alternatives advance rapidly, Adobe will have to work harder.

There is the 64-bit preview 3 out now also, but I don't think it has Stage Video.

Anyways, video acceleration + multimonitor video is something I didn't expect from Adobe on Linux.

I don't notice anything new here (32 bits). CPU usage is high as usual.

[Beiruty]

no 64-bits yet.
