Hi.

I read that Firefox will support html5 h264 decoding, but not natively. Does Vista support natively h264 GPU accelerated decoding? or have I in the future to give up this upcoming new feature of FF? thanks

your link does redirect to http://www.mozilla.org/us/firefox/fx/?from=getfirefox and FF11 does not support html5 h264 video yet... it is strange that it is difficult in establishing if Vista (released 2007) is able or not in handling h264.
