That's almost certain, but I'm not sure their figures are all that far off. If I was to guess, I'd say that in general it's not less that 92% (but see last paragraph). Generally when they're looking at Flash support I think they're talking about Flash 3 or something, which is really just the basic animation plus sound effects or something (eg., not something you could use to view videos or the other stuff Flash does these days) - so we're not talking an amazingly high bar, and I _think_ that Windows has come with such a plugin for many years now (but I may be wrong). The kind of preface that I put on that is that "if you care about how it looks" - I think the comparison between Flash and PDF is actually pretty apt. Plain text will usually be more accessible, but Flash isn't a whole lot less accessible in terms of viewership. Cheers, Alex. _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
