Gnash is coming. Wonder if it will beat Vista?

Flash is not as bad as a solution looking for a problem. It's a problem looking for justification not to be exterminated.

It would now be appropriate for you to type us a message on your keyboard with the F keys on the left about the evils of ever using a fiendish rat device ;-).
