Anything's possible, but I do know that daily adoption of new Macromedia Flash Player greatly outweighs the new adoption of any browser or operating system. Here's the list of current distribution partners: http://www.macromedia.com/software/flashplayer/partners/ Here's a recent comparison of XP adoption rates: http://www.betanews.com/article/Windows_XP_Adoption_Rates_Slow/1118943913 Summary: In June05 WinXP had risen to 38% of enterprise use, compared to 48% for Win2000, in the years after XP's release in 2001. (In comparison, Macromedia Flash Player has historically hit 80% adoption within a year, and will likely quicken in the future with new auto-update.) Being included in default OS and browser installations is great, naturally, but consumers update their Flash capabilities much more quickly than they update their browsing or system capabilities.
