Sorry, but that's not at all true. Linux versions of Flash have come quite a long way in the not too distant past. I run Fedora at home, 64-bit, and the Flash support on it is actually better than on Windows. I had to add an extra repository, and upgrade my browser to meet package requirements, but that's expected.

I'm also all for open standards, but I'm not going to limit myself to things that are strictly open, or use a crappy replacement/wanna-be just because it's more open. If I did that, I wouldn't have gotten an N900, since it's far more closed than the FreeRunner I already had. Except the FreeRunner couldn't actually do things reliably, like get calls, or run on it's battery for more than 8 hours.

I'm all about improving the world of opensource, and using it where it's feasible. But I also live in the real world, where sometimes closed is the only viable option to get a task done.
