Days since last known Java 0-day exploit

If they're both similar in this way, why did Flash win, or at least stay alive, while Java lost, to the point where most people can be told to turn it off and won't notice the difference?

Because Flash plays streaming video well and Java doesn't?

We are only just now hitting the point where you could use HTML 5 video only for a broad reaching consumer site. Once this is no longer an issue flash will probably drop off a lot more.

I assume only having up to IE8 on XP is going to be an issue to full html5 video adoption for some time yet.

I just found out from W3S that there's still 19.1% of users using XP. I see where that could become problematic.

Only way with 98% (at peak) market availability... Also, the tools for working with flash (for creative content) are better than those for Java.
