This is only sort of good news.
On the one hand it provides Flash with a big advantage over silverlight, and Flash has _much_ better support for:
- End users not on Windows.
- Programmatic generation without a Windows back end.
But it also makes pure JavaScript less attractive, and that is one of the things that offers /real/ vendor politics free interoperability for rich web apps in the future.
