They're not system crash but application crash, both are reported on MacOS X. So no, Flash didn't crash the OS, only apps like Safari, Firefox or Chrome. Isn't it enough ?

>They're not system crash but application crash, both are reported on MacOS X. So no, Flash didn't crash the OS, only apps like Safari, Firefox or Chrome. Isn't it enough ? That wasn't what Apple (Steve Jobs) claimed... [1]"Whenever a Mac crashes more often than not it’s because of Flash. No one will be using Flash, the world is moving to HTML5." Also Flash doesn't crash Chrome, doesn't crash FF for ages either. No clue about Safari the quote was debunked by everyone, even Apple backtracked on it to a more "we meant Safari in certain cases" type of statement. we can all move along.

  I doubt it's worth picking over all that stuff Jobs said about Flash - it was FUD top to bottom. I mean, in his famous letter he flamed Flash for being closed even as iOS locked people into a single browser, flamed it for being nonstandard while Apple pushed out Safari-only web pages [1] and weird quicktime extensions, etc. He even called out Adobe for being late to adopt Cocoa even though core Apple apps hadn't migrated yet. So, the language about crashes may have had more or less basis in reality, but it's not as if Jobs was concerned with nuance and details.
