  I'm wondering if they are proud about being approximately the only
website in the entire internet which doesn't work in Linux.

Huh? They do have a flash-video there, but that doesn't mean the page
doesn't work on Linux. Heck, I can see the page.

Worked fine on Ubuntu last night.  No, I don't dig flash either, still...

  How? It refuses to play here. It just gives that message.

  The text in that page is not very helpful, nor the core content.

  Flash is not the problem. All flash sites I know of work just fine.
Well, except this one.

that's weird.  BTW, I just followed the link now on Firefox on Vista and 
it says it requires Flash 10 to play.  Perhaps you just need to upgrade.

That's not what it means. "Express Install" is Adobe's marketing-speak for 
"custom downloader with lots of stupid branding on the screen." They're 
saying "Sorry, we haven't ported our downloader to your OS, you'll have to 
use FTP or HTTP." :-)

Be happy about it!

Not to mention it is hinted in the video that it'd be possible to use 
more than one GPU at the same time.  CG artists will run amok... XD
