And on the topic of macromedia's flash, linux support and web future in general:

(it even cites the Nokia tablets...).

I am still thinking that the question is not wether "flash compatibility is holding back linux and oss in general", but "isn't trying to imitate windows reinforcing Microsoft's monopoly?". OS/2 tried to run windows programs and OS/2 is dead. Apple chose not to run flash on the iPhone (and is even actively preventing adobe to develop a player), and sites like youtube move their content from flash to open codecs.

So?
