Personally I hate Flash because it's closed source, very resource hungry and as a result can exclude people from enjoying content.

But a simple fact is many people in this forum want it and Nokia/Adobe are unwilling to provide it.

Silverlight is obviously a competitor to Flash but at least an open version of it exists - moonlight, and generally works quite well.

The source code for moonlight is available and anyone can port it also the video codecs are available (binary only and seperate licence) it's not perfect but a much better solution than Flash.

It's bad enough there are closed-source drivers in MeeGo.
