At a quick glance, that doesn't seem to state its sources either. > Or: http://www.wired.com/news/technology/software/0,71558-0.html Following links from there tells us that it's actually that 98% of a weighted calculation based on people who respond when they "are sent an e-mail directing them to Lightspeed's survey site via a URL" have Flash. Lightspeed - their own site www.lightspeedresearch.com uses Flash and their example survey is Javascript-using invalid xhtml that doesn't follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Do you think their survey results about web technology support may be a little biased? Maybe Flash is pretty common, but I don't think those figures are satisfactory. They look more like marketing than statistics. Regards, -- MJ Ray - see/vidu http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html Somerset, England.
