So far, I am seeing pretty darn cool movies. I tested on an Acer 10"
netbook, 1.6GHz atom proc, 1GB ram, running chrome on Ubuntu. Just about the
worst case I can think of, 'cause flash kicks my cpu to %50 in just that one
chrome child. This little netbook does not even notice when streaming an
html5 movie on YouTube.

Give it a try, especially in chrome...

Maybe an alternative to flash is closer than we think?
