Avoiding Bing reward lottery spam in notifications from OS alone is worth it for me.

This is quite ironic given that I am more likely to use 2048 CPU machine than playing full screen Flash videos.

I use Linux not only on laptops, but also on servers.

Also, I am more likely to have 2048 core laptop than playing full screen Flash videos.

https://xkcd.com/619/ complains about some Linux development focusing on support on server/supercomputer features and ignoring UX issues and support for some then popular media format.

The ironic part is that support for absurdly high core devices becomes more relevant, while Flash died.
