Hmm ... gonna give them a shot. 9.10 working fine, but was thinking about trying the flash beta so this would go hand in hand I suppose.

And the download-but-never-get-around-to-installing cycle continues. Still using the 9.8 drivers.

Just installed ... these actually asked me to reboot to activate the drivers. Last few haven't made me restart in Windows 7. Installing flash 10.1 now, will see if it makes a difference, although I never had problems with flash loading slowly.

Downloaded them earlier today. I was happy with 9.10. I'm hoping 9.11 is just as good.
