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

isn't Photon Mapping a forward-based monte-carlo GI technique itself?

It just worked here. I have the latest version of Flash installed from
the Adobe website.
But I just visited the page, told noscript to allow scripts on the page,
and it just worked. No magic or anything. :-)

I guess it does qualify.
Well, it's a bidirectional approach actually; but I can't possibly
imagine that VRay would use /full-fledged/ forward tracing either.

Mental Ray and V-Ray use essentially the photon mapping technique, not
just for caustics.

While not the fastest card out there, it still costs more than *any* video card
offered by AMD. It's a pretty heavy hitter for a single card setup.

There's a better version here for download which is an actual screen-cap
rather than from a camera:

I had the same problem. I used Firebug to replace the <embed> tag's src
attribute to the real swf instead of the expressinstall crap.
