Flash going under Microsoft control would be a nightmare scenario for me. Noooo!

  It might be bad enough to get the government involved again. The government killing flash would be awesome.

    Awesome? It would kill my project and many others, e.g. YouTube. I hope Adobe opens everything up before any of that happens. "In the long run, the utility of all non-free software is zero."

      HTML will get native video support in the future so we won't need flash for it anymore. http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#video http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#video

        Flash is good for more than just video. E.g. I think http://samorost2.net http://samorost2.net cannot be reimplemented with existing "open web" technologies. At least I haven't seen any compelling examples.
