Yes, I agree. But the end effect of keeping flash off a platform is that you have also kept off a lot of creativity, especially the creativity of "ordinary people". Now, you can say you didn't mean to do that, but in the end that's for sure what you're doing. You're saying to a certain group of people, your work can't be here. Ironically, they are the kind of people you might feature in your advertising campaigns, and the kind of people who buy -- or don't buy -- your "hip", "cool" products. There used to be a saying "if you can't work there, don't shop there". (yep, i'm typing this on a mac!)
