I agree. One of the biggest problems with 64 bit desktop systems is
Flash: the Adobe implementation is still in alpha (and feels like it),
and the Gnash implementation is even further behind.

Let's clarify the Adobe Flash situation: on _some_ hardware, users
have no problems with 64 bit Flash. On others, it is a mess. I suppose
that Adobe is slowly adding hardware support and that is why it is
still an alpha. Try it and see how _your_ hardware performs.
