suraj.sun writes "The Lightspark project has released version 0.4.2 of its free, open source Flash player. According to Lightspark developer Alessandro Pignotti, the alternative Flash Player implementation is 'designed from the ground up to be efficient on current and (hopefully) future hardware.' The latest release of Lightspark features better compatibility with YouTube videos, sound synchronization support and the ability to use fontconfig for font selection. Other changes include plug-in support for Google's Chrome/Chromium web browser and support for Firefox's out of process plug-in (OOPP) mode, which was added in version 3.6.4 of the browser."

Since it's OS, maybe that's the best feature YOU could add.

And proof of it is their excellent support for Ogg
Ogg is not an "excellent product", by any means. Also, no one cares about it.
And WebKit, while derived from KHTML way back when, really is Apple's. Sorry.

I never said anything about ReactOS. Why are you changing the subject?
