OTOH, better Flash than Silverlight, huh Darren? ;)

I don't mind idiotube and GoogleChat is in javascript AFAIK.

I think you are letting your aversion take over rational judgement
because you can't concede even one single positive thing about Flash
(ie. that it makes services like YouTube really practical).
Well, if you don't want to use Flash, that's your loss.

Dunno. I never really looked into the innards of either.
MS *does* tend to improve what they copy. :-) I'd expect Silverlight to
be better in many ways than Flash, just because MS got to see all the
things Flash did wrong.

I would almost agree, but I've seen more of what Flash is capable of.
I'll stick to just banning it from simple menus, and repeating movie
clips for advertisements. For 2.5D, and 3D, interactive spaces it's
actually pretty useful.

.... which is the "live in a mud hut, wipe with a leaf" option. And again, how
many distros (I know many won't play MPEG-I's off the bat) will play whatever
you have bothered to download?

Many other sites that deliver video can't. Ever tried Hulu?

Flash may have its negative points, but you provide no alternative, nor
make a case that alternatives are not needed.
As it stands, it's much better than its predecessor (Java applets).

Its also used by "several" free internet TV systems, which is a pain in
the ass, because Second Life doesn't support either embedded mms, (Uses
MediaPlayer), or the latest version of Flash. Wish it did. I would love
to set of a theater that actually "showed" shows, instead of looking
like it did, even if it was ancient ones. lol

I don't know, but my laptop has two accounts, one of which flas works
and one where flash doesn't. The account where flash doesn't work won't
do the gtalk web thingie either. It might not be related to flash, tho.
