More secure software with less problems (ie crashing),that won't require constant updates, and won't drain battery power on mobile devices.
Apart from that...

I'm not saying it's a bad thing (my initial post wasn't meant to sound confrontational, or whatever).......but.......on my phone, which this article seems to be predominantly about (and tablets), I can't say I have ever noticed flash constantly updating or crashing. Perhaps it updates in the background and the crashes recover without me noticing, but I have never found them to be an issue.
An improvement in battery life would be welcome, but if Flash draining the battery is such an issue why do iPhones seem to suffer the same sort of battery life as something that uses Flash?
Again - a genuine question....?It just seems a bit irrelevant to the vast majority of people who just get on & use the devices, while not really caring how they do what they do......

I thought this thread was to signal the demise of the forums greatest cycling luggage accompaniment designer through excessive premium economy business travel.

Great, so now we are stuck with shitty html5 video which needs different formats for different browsers. Brill. If browser makers could have agreed on h264 with AAC audio we'd be in a much better situation now.

Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight

and you are 100% right, why should it matter. To most people it won't, but to folks like me who have to support multiple users on multiple devices across a large network with a range of locations, it'll just make my life that bit more simple and easier. And for that I am eternally grateful.

It died when adobe bought out macromedia. Adobe **** up, not enough development and too many bugs.
Steve Jobs made his inital decision to protect apples revenues. According to his article abobe were given plenty of opportunities to sort it out and failed.

Won't be sorry to see the back of flash. Surprised that adobe has stuck with it for so long as it's probably done a lot of damage to people's perception of adobe and their products.
