    Aaaaaaaaannnddd there go go go go.....

    In the first race Flash 5 shot off with the early pace while MX seemed to lag behind, by mid race MX was coming up the filed strong to finally win by a country mile (about 5cm)

    then it was almost a dead heat on the second leg, with MX just pipping Flash 5 to the post.

    Hang on!!! aren't they both using the flash 6 player. This test doesn't prove anything. I've noticed that the swf file on top of the page always wins that's because it loads first.

    I like the race idea though.

    Red face did not think this would be such a hit?

    yea i know it starts loading the top movie first thats why i flip flopped them in the secound race..
    I wanted to see if there was a big difference in loading (turns out there about the same (to the trained eye) which is good enough for me to go ahead and get flash MX..
    would like to see one of you guys make a more safisticated test..
