"you will have to decide between using Flash with a 99.6% market penetration or HTML5 with roughly less then 40% of users browsers" Adobe keep rolling out the '99 percent' argument, and it is false. This argument is essentially 'hey look, everybody is already running our proprietary virtual machine so there is no need for a standards based solution!'. If we all thought like that, there would never be any progress.
