I reverted back to Flash Player 10.1- Apparently Adobe just got the APIs recently, so it's very early to judge- but wouldn't they think that most people would check YouTube/Hulu first for compatibility and testing? Seems weird that it has issues with those commonly used flash sites in one of the most common browsers.
