Uh, excuse me, is this at all relevant:
A proprietary OS has become the de facto PC standard. I mean what could
you possibly expect? It's called capitalism at it's finest. Don't use
quality to push your product, use brute force.
Oh wait, did Flash do that?
I have to say I find the web a much better place without it. Much of
the annoying advertising disappears if you remove flash. OK, you miss
out on some of the funny videos, but why waste the time watching them in
the first place? You could be reading a nice technical manual.
What bothers me about the modern web is not flash, it is all the sites
that don't know how to format the screen properly, and force my browser
to the resolution that they want rather than the resolution that I want.
