Windows XP included Flash. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash_Player http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adobe_Flash_Player "Two years later it shipped with all releases of Windows XP." https://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-020.mspx https://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-020...
