Adobe did GPU acceleration already in its Adobe Reader for sometime ago.
(you can try to look for this option in Preferences)

But ... when this option was turned on
it crashed (cold boot) my niece system
- Adobe Reader 8.02 on Windows Vista x64 SP1
and GeForce 8800GT.

Not sure it was fixed yet in new Adobe Reader
or it's because of bad GeForce chip.

For the Apple fans: GPU acceleration is what all the next pro apps are doing.

All the next (next major version) pro apps will require Snow Leopard and their new APIs. Why is it taking so long? They have to adapt their APIs to the current nvidia/amd tech (possibly Larabee as well), then build apps around these APIs.

Adobe won't be the only game in town with massive GPU acceleration. I just hope it makes my iDVD encodes and iMovie transcodes much faster.
