Most flash sites (especially video streaming) use flash 8+. This will give you access to a few additional sites, but we are really waiting for MS to release their new version of PIE that will supposedly incorporate additional flash support.

New version of PIE? It's about time, I think the version of PIE has not really changed in many manty years.

I was able to download, but not install it. The install reached the point where the EULA is displayed, but didn't provide any way to ack the EULA. Weird.

No... new version of Flash

The new IE is going to come with Windows Mobile 7

I would guess they were trying to squeeze MS to buy a license for flash lite 3 (which will support flv, etc). It worked.
