It's all the hype - (so it seems) so I'm curious as I'm sure the rest of the world is...
Will you install Flash?
*Edit*
Summarization of the pages that follow.
1) I dont agree to Adobe's idealogy, nor the fact that Flash is the biggest non-standardized component of the web. Can only run (by licensed-agreement) on x86* PC's (and soon mobile, yes). And, for linux currently, its a horrid nightmare... the most unstable binary on any of my systems.
2) I dont have to really explain why I dont agree with the license, its an agreement between each user and Adobe. enough said.
3) The more support it gets, the longer it will take to transition to the *real* standard, which will be HTML5 and that is in HEAVY development and looking/working VERY nicely. Continuance to support the Flash ideal is only delaying the advancement of HTML across ALL platforms.
-----
in the pages that follow, there are several good questions and comments, but to flame me for my choice to not support and/or agree to Adobe's terms... well, you can pipe that to /dev/null . I'm not changing my mind.
For those that are objective to my objection, this link " http://lifehacker.com/5416100/how-ht...ou-use-the-web " describes it best. Happy surfing everyone!
Thanks for all who gave good input, and the poll is just as I expected, I see there are a few additions to the "No" list -- I'm sure you guys use linux primarily
