Why? All of the Microsoft fanbois will have it and you'll be able to use it on your Mac. Like it or not, that's well over 90% of the market, and to Adobe, that's all that matters.
Not any more: they’ve never had Flash on iPhone or iPad, a lot of Android devices don’t have it, and Adobe have already announced that they’re going to stop developing it for Android. And I understand Microsoft won’t allow Flash on Windows 8 on ARM.
That means no Flash on mobiles, and no Flash on tablets. These days, that’s well over 10% of the market, and more in the future.
Also let's not forget that Google is pushing HTML5 and that means H.264 for now. H.264 is YAFPC (yet another f***ing proprietary codec). I have this funny feeling we're entering another phase of the mp3 wars. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@alldigital.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - If it's stupid and it works...it ain't stupid! - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
