Installed it not long ago and went to a bunch of sites that used to give 
me problems.  Problems no more.  Also, I've noticed a marked performance 
improvement over Flash 9.  This is a 1.2GHz Athlon XP system with 1GB of 
RAM and Flash Video in full screen lags with Flash 9, but not anymore.  
Watched a few Youtube videos and that problem has done away.
