We believe that consumers should be able to freely access their favorite content and applications, regardless of what computer they have, what browser they like, or what device suits their needs

That just doesn't jive with reality. Adobe is the sole gatekeeper of where Flash is available and how good the experience is. I don't see Flash Player 10 available for FreeBSD/PPC, NetBSD/anything, Solaris/SPARC, Linux/SPARC, Linux/MIPS, nothing for IA64, etc. Of course I don't blame Adobe for not supporting these platforms but the point is no one else can offer Flash support on them either.

You are absolutely right. How long did has the UNIX community had a substandard, or non-existent flash player? Flash 10 still crashes alsa on my Gentoo systems. It seems petty that they can't open source the player. The community will fix it for free! And then they have the nerve to criticize Apple, which is clearly looking out for it's own best interest(Which I don't support, I haven't bought any Apple products). This is blatant hypocrisy.
